If you are well-established (friends, family, land or house ownership, being native in your country) in your country, I don't see any point of going to Canada. I have seen a lot of examples of people regretting their decisions. Desolate suburbs, insane house prices, car centric soulless lifestyle, polite but shallow social interactions, stagnant wages, and crime (yes, soft crime is surprisingly high). There is a reason why Canada mostly attracts immigrants from really really poor, unsafe and undeveloped countries because others go to other destinations or stay wherever they are. World is not what it used to be, stay in your safe zone and try other types of adventures, imo.

People around the world have completely wrong perception of Canada as some idyllic country. Far from it ! 😢

[@JMunchen-wf2yj]

I agree as well - I’m Canadian but was born in Europe. Parents moved here when I was a little kid so I’ve grown up here my whole life but always stayed very connected to Europe through family. This is one big thing most people never mention (and this video didn’t mention) but Canada is very ugly. The countryside can be beautiful but there’s nothing there and it’s very wild. But the cities are absolutely hideous, full of garbage, people don’t maintain their properties, people typically don’t do a lot of gardening or care about how their neighbourhood looks. England, Germany, Austria, italy, these counties are so full of colour and their cultures take pride in their surroundings. Canada is just depressingly grey and ugly. The architecture doesn’t help, Canada doesn’t know what a nice looking building is. The other thing is that Canadians having this reputation for being nice is really bizarre, people don’t say hi to each other, they are very insular, everyone is out for themselves in Canada. There also isn’t really a single good restaurant in Canada (there’s a few here and there in the big cities) but for the most part Canada is chain restaurant garbage and even the ‘mom & pop’ restaurants just serve frozen dinners. Cheap oils, terrible ingredients, no pride. There is no food culture in Canada. A pub here is basically a glorified McDonald’s, but actually McDonald’s has better quality control. If you already live in Europe…. Just stay… the grass is not greener here. Stay in Munich, or Bolzano, or anywhere.

[@andrews4502]

I moved to Canada in 2003, I think over the past few years things really took a turn for the worst and alot of the issues we're encountering now are mostly a result of government incompetency 1) Instead of focusing on treatment and recovery we prioritized harm reduction and drug decriminalization which largely results in the current mental health/addiction crisis 2) Instead of seeing housing as a public need, policies make housing investment vehicles (notably for rich folks in foreign countries) and locals can't really afford to buy or rent as a result 3) Instead of building mass transit infrastructure including subways/light rail we continue to be extremely car-centric, most Canadians can't get around without a car but also can't really afford one due to all the costs associated with ownership. 4) Government continues to cut back on healthcare spending despite an aging population across the country And one nongovernment-related aspect which is NIMBYism -- endless delays/protests on all major projects because someone is afraid their backyard views might be obstructed or some old trees might be cut.

I think something worth mentioning is the quality of food sold here. It is pricey and low quality, especially fresh produce and fruit - much of it picked unripe in central America and shipped thousands of km to be sold on Canadian grocery shelves. If you're in a hurry, it's difficult to find an inexpensive and healthy option, like in many other countries. Your selection is largely limited to TIm Hortons and other fast food chains, which don't generally offer nutritious choices.

@Yosa Boas I live in an Alberta town, they are very safe. There are no animals that threaten humans here, just coyotes who can barely hold their own against the town cats. Tornadoes are the only natural disasters, but they are very minor and cause virtually no injuries. Blizzards are the main threat, -40 is pretty common, and winds can gust up to 100kph. The medical system in rural areas are much, much less stressed. My doctor always has a slot available within a week and usually an open slot within a day if needed. Medical care is not free for foreigners however, but that's not a big deal, it's like not having access to the free version of a life saving app, and if your credit score is decent you wont qualify for any costly services anyways. I highly recommend not moving to Canada, it has been moving in a tyrannical direction for decades. The Panama Papers show that Canada is the primary tax haven for Americans, the average person pays effectively over 50% in taxes when accounting for inflation, whereas a wealthy person would only pay around 20% on 50% of their earnings, as this is what the capital gains rates are. If you are a multi millionaire looking to offload a literal boatload worth of capital to an anonymous offshore holding company, you should definately give Canada a visit, otherwise it's just your typical totalitarian socialist state that sponsors it's own protests to make it seem democratic when in reality you are a pathetic pleb with no rights.

[@thepuzzledgoddess]

First, I want to thank you for making this video. The health of a country, or the health of an individual which are clearly linked, is dependent on our ability to see ourselves and each other, and make necessary changes to improve in the areas that we lack personally, and as communities in our beautiful country of Canada and other countries as well. Well, it’s a work in progress. I appreciate how you’ve inspired us to speak about things that aren’t necessarily spoken about. At least not where I live and have lived in Canada. Thank you so much for that opportunity. It doesn’t matter about my opinion. What matters is sharing our own thoughts, feelings, and experiences because they aren’t debatable. We are in violation of Multiple Human Rights violations against Inuit , Indigenous and Métis people by the United Nations. Most have no water to drink-not even boiled water and bottled water is available sometimes when it’s brought to reservations . Children don’t have the same access to books. So many thousands of bodies of children taken to residential schools from their parents arms and community for over 160 years yet the deep wounds aren’t given compassion by most people anymore and systemic abuse actively impacts them and therefore all of Us . We are all one whether we see people as other’ or not. We’re humans. They’re not seen in media unless it’s a bad story yet we’re only now teaching one mandatory class by non indigenous people. Solution: elders teach their grandchildren languages that weren’t erased by genocide and environmental /spiritual cultural practices and lifestyles before they’re gone by paying first people elders and streaming it into all Canadian classrooms so the children can see a future where they’re valued and all Canadian kids can get a full education and learn accurate history. Making canoes, baskets, sacred ceremonies, food growing (that they taught to pilgrims so they’d survive here), etc. No, I’m not indigenous. I’m an immigrant like all but the first people. They’ve an amazing culture that’s been all but lost . When we don’t see ourselves represented in any media, any careers, and start our lives in extended poverty based on our race, and all that was taken still today, it’s no wonder the teen suicide rate for indigenous youth is more than double / triple all non - indigenous youth. The numbers are growing. I live in Care due to my physical disabilities . An international nursing student worked for me providing personal care like showers, meal prep etc and over that year, she said she wouldn’t have moved here specifically because of a few things I’ve mentioned. She told me Canada was sold to people in her country of origin as a ‘multicultural’ safe haven without extreme racism still prevalent today and within our history. I’m ashamed of Canadian government promises for over 100 years that aren’t fulfilled. All children deserve healthy drinking Water and an education. Period. Especially, the ambassadors of this amazing land that they see as themselves without separation. That’s accurate. We will have nothing to stand upon if we don’t protect the earth. It will go on without us. I see many things in the comments I’ve seen or experienced, unfortunately. This is a beautiful country for so many reasons. It’s important that from such abundance we listen to your video, look at ourselves honestly and i feel, be the change we want to see in the world like Gandhi said. Much love and healing from an All inclusive advocate. All life matters.

Unfortunately no, your not. I was in the Military for 3 decades and they have a separate health care system. I didn’t like it but it was way more available then the civilian system.

She was my only choice after 2 years on the “Healthcare Connect” rot and wait system. I left and am back into the system for the last 2 years and must now use the hospital emergency or one of the walk in clinics that are popping up all over and they are just a Telemedicine video conference setup. Frankly I’ve given up on it and now research and treat myself whenever possible. I’ve stopped taking the poison I was once prescribed and now take responsibility for my own Heath in any way possible and use the medical system as last resort. I’m not alone and I’m sure that it’s one of the causes of the huge surge of unexpected deaths we’ve been experiencing as many people lost trust in the medical system and it’s corruption by the government during Cov. The USA (and to a simular degree Canada)takes 87% of the worlds prescription drugs yet are 46 on the list for life expectancy and 15 in quality of life. Canada is 16 in life expectancy (taken from worldometers.com) so lots of prescription isn’t the way, I just makes more money for the Pharma. Once Canada’s pride and joy our medical system has become our shame and burden. It coast each province close to Half of their budgets and the quality of care just keeps going down. We have the death boards the Americans were so against when the USA brought in Obama Care were they weigh the budget and the cost of treating you or your aging parents and now advise to commit medical suicide is pushed to help our WEF puppet gov cull excess population.

And none of them touch on the real problem because they are too ignorant. Canada has a giant real state bubble. People can't rent, people can't buy houses. If people can't afford houses they will become homeless, of course. And if the population of homeless and destitute increases OF COURSE the drug consumption (NOT the laws regarding addicts) will increase and OF COURSE the crime rates will also increase. That's why poor countries with social inequality (both things) and poor neighborhoods in rich countries populated mostly by ethnic minorities have higher crime rates! I know people like this one in this channel think it's a RACIAL (or a "cultural") problem but of course it's an ECONOMICAL problem. People in Canada and in other rich countries talking about Canada just discovered what poverty and social inequality causes! It's that simple! The Canadian government should do what CHINA did popping the bubble themselves before the tragedy that inevitably will happen went the bubble burst becomes so big to the point of imploding the country. It's a BUBBLE. It's appalling how she (as many!) basically blame the homeless for being homeless and blame increase in drug consumption on laws about it and the increase in crime on immigrants in the SAME video they talk how renting in Canada became impossible. If people can't rent they live on the streets, People on the streets tend to use more drugs and commit more crimes. It's a no brainer! Actually, contrary to what those KZbiners probably want, is a GOD propaganda for Canada! People are so unused to poverty and what comes with poverty in Canda that they can even connect the dots! When a CHILD could!

The fundamental problem with Canada and this also applies to many other advanced economies is that housing costs have been allowed to skyrocket.High immigration in combination with low interest rates and certain tax breaks and buyer incentives have all combined to cause this.What this means is that the average citizen is now paying too much out of their income in either rent or house repayments and this reduces spending in the rest of the economy and is a relatively wasteful use of capital so wealth creation has also declined.Australia,New Zealand the UK and Netherlands and parts of the US have also fallen into this vortex.

Even though I've never set foot on Canadian soil and probably never will, I'm at a complete loss wondering exactly what does one have to do to visit their own flesh and blood in Canada? How do we convince the immigration officials who review our visa applications from 3rd world countries that "Hey, after my visit, I will leave peacefully, I have no intentions of remaining as an illegal immigrant and becoming a major burden on my loved ones" I have family in Canada, I will leave the name of the province out (for obvious reasons). All I wanted was to visit my family for a month/30 days and I'd leave, I was gonna travel with my 2 small children and my wife, for a family vacation, that's all that was going to be, but the baffoon who reviewed my application came to the conclusion that I'd end up becoming an illegal immigrant :

[@slenderfoxx3797]

In sorry to hear that happened to you. However it probably happened because there was so much of it happening in the US. Canada figured they would want to prepare ahead of time before it becomes a big issue in canada as well...so they added far more precautions before hand. Which unfortunately may also disrupt honest people like yourself who just want to visit and have no ill intentions.

[@seanothepop4638]

We're a bit racist eh? So it's going to be hard for some people to visit family over others and we usually use the US's views and refuse what they do, so we can see the problem with that. Canada is just shit, I don't get how people think it's great. I've been here 55 years now, it's shit! Our money laundering based economy (hence is very poor, and canada wide, largest operation in the world) improved a bit once we got immigration open and actually provided careers to those with the international qualifications. How economies are supposed to grow. Canada got realestate cancer instead. Now we dont accept much immigrants unless we want them to do menial work, not what they were educated for so we're back to being super poor (laundered money can't stay where it's laundered unless it's a condo property here...) also some of the worse rates of homelessness in the world surrounded by empty condos. Many are immigrants who are homeless. All my taxes for literally nothing. I get health care, once, for half an hour, every two and a half years. My taxes go to money laundering, all of our taxes do.

It is impossible to live in Canada when you are retired. My wife's pension(starting next year) and my current one amounts to about $3.000, while the average rent for a one bedroom apartment goes up to $2000. While we don't pay for prescribed medicines, as retirees, still we have to deal with utilities,clothing,food and transportation, let alone anything else, with the little left from our pensions. Moving to a smaller city (we presently live in Toronto), involves the purchase of a car since good transportation is non existing in smaller towns.Cost of cars, insurance, fuel and taxes will make the move to a "cheaper" place to vanish in no time. This once an amazing nation is becoming less and less attractive, even to younger people with a solid education. Soon enough this one will be an empty country bringing more immigrants whom will have to live like sardines in tiny apartments; only time will tell for how long this approach will last. In the end the so called third world countries will be full of retired people and young ones trying to make a decent living.

This is an interesting overview of Canada and its many issues. I would love to see a follow up video or two looking into these same issues but from a few different perspectives. 1) regionally - Canada is very diverse so our regions are quite different in culture, problems and cause of each. The major regions are: Maritimes/Ontario/Quebec/Prairies/West Coast/ Territories. 2) because of our diverse landscape different races are attracted to different areas. I have not studied this impact on our racism and political issues but would love to see someone like you do so. It appears to me that immigrants are disproportionately gathered along the US/Canada border and big cities, particularly east and west coast. First Nations are disproportionately populated in Rural and northern areas where resources overall are less available to all races. I would expect to find that this population disbursement would also reflect in our political leadership. For example more populated cities are far more likely to have immigrant own businesses and politicians, In rural and northern communities politicians are more likely to be white because First Nations politicians would be more inclined to work within the First Nations political channels where they can actually do more good for their communities. 3) The diversity that makes up 'white' as a race. It appears to me that Canada historically has been more inclined to attract 'White' races versus other 'colours'. We have large populations of British, Swedish, Irish, Russian, Ukrainian, French, Norwegian, and Polish to name a few. All of which have large diversity in their culture and history but are often classified as 'white'. 4) The massive impact the past 5 + years of politics and world affairs have had on the divisions within Canada. Personally I see and feel far, far more judgements between races, economics and regions than ever before.

Great video series. You have managed to get me to write a comment. Something I never do! As someone who grew up and was educated here then moved abroad for a decade and returned almost a decade ago I see many of the issues and perspectives that you are reporting/educating people about. I think the biggest travesty I have witnessed is giving foreigners false expectations that they will have an easier time here once they arrive. I will never forget my first day of university (as a snot-nosed kid) ordering a pizza to my new residence on campus. I was greeted by a delivery middle aged man who was so excited to be on campus. He couldn't resist telling me why he was so happy. It was because in his home country he was a medical surgeon!!! It was a humbling experience. He didn't stand a chance of ever practising medicine in Canada if he didn't go to school or "upgrade" here because our medical system, educational system, engineering systems etc... are managed by so call-colleges that play the political game. In other words they hold a significant voting population that the government is essentially afraid of going against their wishes. In my career as a business leader I have seen far over qualified foreign individuals who don't stand a chance here unless they learn to play the system and go back to school here. That's the cold truth as an executive who hired many. Also just an addition to your commentary about the drug epidemic. The "free drug" supply is a humanitarian effort to reduce drug-over-dose-deaths by unscrupulous drug dealers who add drugs like fentanyl to create a better experience and gain a captive basis. The few who die in the process don't matter compared to the increase in profits. Again the safe supply is a politically motivated initiative because dead people on the streets of our major cities is a bad look for politicians. However the needle is moving the other way now and the safe-supply humanitarian aspect is going to be quashed because the difficult truth is that drug users don't like the stuff that was being supplied as much as "dealer quality". The ongoing trend is to sell it to buy the "real stuff". I have lived in 2 countries in Europe previously and can honestly say that the quality of life there was much higher than what we have experienced here. On of the biggest issues with Europeans who come here is the expectations that what they take for granted their will be here and then all the additional things they desire here are the bonus experiences they will encounter. However that is simply not true. Try explaining to Europeans like the Dutch/French/Germans that they will never be able to take a vacation that is 3 weeks or more again. In fact the culture in big cities is to take a maximum of 1 week at a time and if you do this too often your colleagues will consider you a slacker. Canada is my home and my native country but simply Not the best version of itself anymore. Keep up the good work. People simply need to understand what they are getting into when they migrate here.

I strongly recommend foreigners to think twice and do research. Don’t just listen to the propaganda. If your from India you will face all kinds of discrimination.

I spent 2 years (1991/92) in Calgary and I fully understand the feeling. Canada simply has not enough quality job. For better job satisfaction and higher pay, you need to head south to get it. Canada is for someone who is looking for a peaceful life and have more private time but not a very social life style. The medical system needs some improvement though. Compared with the time (70s last century) I spent in England, I would say England is much better because Europe is so close and you could enjoy the diverse culture and food. Anyway, everybody has his/her own choice and that is good.

Pretty much everything in this video is true. Personally, after living in Canada for more than 13 years - Toronto, Ottawa, and Vancouver - I can say that the country is extremely expensive, over regulated to ensure SILENT privilege for the incumbents - business and locals - and super biased when it comes to hiring. Practical advice before moving there: 1. Improve your English to the point where it is really fluent - practice phrases specifically designed for interviews. Trust me, with sample questions and answers you will be great in about 4 to 6 weeks if you practice an hour per day. 2. Make sure your profession is not licensed. In Canada most professions are, except IT of course, which for me was great. For example, if are an accountant, make sure that you are ready to take or have already passed the CPA exam. I would advise you to do that in your home country or a nearby country, if the exam is not administered where you live. Example - I knew a professional pharmacist from an Asian country with 20 years of experience. She had to flip burgers for 4 years before finally passing all the necessary certification exams to make diploma and her skills "Canadian" 3. Pick carefully where you live. In general try to be close to work. If that is downtown, make sure you live in a neighboring part of the city from where you can reach your workplace with a bus, electrical scooter, or a bike. Only Vancouver is bike-friendly in terms of the weather year round, but you will need good rain gear during the winter. Your goal is to MINIMIZE RENT AND COMMUTE TIME/EXPENSE. DO NOT BUY A CAR unless you have kids. There is usually a single insurance company, a MONOPOLY, which costs you between 2,000 and 3,000 per year for a full coverage deal. Outrageous and of course, they can decide not pay for your damages, if they decide they are a bit suspicious or don't fit "established patterns". 4. Oh, yeah. It is cold in Canada. Vancouver and Victoria in BC are pretty much the only slivers of land where it does not or rarely snows. But rains ... like in Matrix. 5. Property is super expensive and OVERPRICED. DON'T BUY. Rent and do so affordably - there is plenty of real estate. By some estimates more than 40% of units in downtown Vancouver were empty - an investment, stashed away by rich the Chinese from Hong Kong who are afraid the communist government in China would take their private property in Hong Kong. In Vancouver, this si the main reason why property is so expensive. 5. If you are just moving to Canada, I recommend Toronto and its developed suburbs, like Mississauga. There is plenty of jobs there and employers have a decent, diverse ethnic background, which means you are less likely to be discriminated on the bases of your color, gender, origins, beliefs, etc. If you are Asian, try Vancouver. About 50% of the population is from Asian background and the cuisine matches accordingly. 6. Save big, predominantly in precious metals. 7. Buy property in your home country and start renting it out, or do so in other countries where you have unobstructed access. I would also recommend trying to become a citizen in that target country. I would personally recommend Spain and Portugal. Both have excellent climate and allow a fair path to citizenship. Best of luck. Your dreams are within reach :)

[@mathematicaleconomist4943]

@@MakeThatChange I am a black Canadian who lives in the USA. I have known about the job discrimination in Canada for DECADES now. You see, the thing you must understand is that companies will not hire blacks or other minorities - least of all in executive positions - unless they are forced to. That's a general rule but not necessarily exclusively the case. So, randomly opening up a leadership or executive page of any large, brand name Canadian owned and operated company and seeing all white faces doesn't even phase me! You must be very careful. When you open up a leadership page of a large company and see a lot of black or minority faces, that's probably a company that has been bought out by Americans. American owned companies operating in Canada tend to have much less discriminatory practices than Canadian companies. So don't be fooled into thinking it's a Canadian company if you see a lot of minorities in leadership positions. It's probably American. American companies tend to have more equal hiring practices and their equal opportunity hiring practices tend to be extraterritorial.

I was born in Canada, and lived to see the change from traditional values to this mess... 1 - homelessness the rents and other things went up, and welfare does nt match it. even minimum wage does nt cover it in some cases, it s a given that you will finish on the sidewalk, and that does that many will turn to drinking and drugs. it will not last long however, as winter comes and there are nt enough shelters, so they conveniently die. you could invest billions, it will not help if you have bad management, you have to dig deeper... 2 - racism it s a bit of a backward country in that sense, many rural areas were very late in receiving immigrants, so they re not used to see diversity, unlike the US lets say, so there are parts of the country where acceptation will be low, they will discriminate and gossip for sure, but it s more backward as it is racism. in time, when they get to know you, it goes away, and they realise how dumb they were. I live in Quebec, and you can blame feminism for that, they see Muslims as a symbol of patriarchy and feel threatened. 3 - medical it s been like that since about the 90s, again, bad management made the system crash for some reason. I admit that I m not sure of what happened exactly there, not enough doctors for sure. maybe it has to do with income, as they can get more revenue in the US or elsewhere. I suspect that hospitals s management - administration is too slow and crowded, but I m no expert. 4 - technology yeah, well, it s expensive here, cell contracts, internet, probably because of distance, but I suspect that we re being cheated a little too, and since again, we re a bit backward, we re used to the old methods. we re not fast to adopt new trends or fashion either, it s very traditional here mostly. 5 - taxes we have federal and provincial taxes, plus purchase taxes, so yeah, we pay a lot of them. exactly, it can vary from 30 - 60% for sure, overtime does nt pay that much, 2 nd jobs can build you a big bill. you re better to save on expenses than trying to earn more, you have to be cheap. 6 - Canadian experience I m born here, but I heard of many stories about immigrants s credentials not fitting the local standards. in some cases, it sounds ridiculous, and closed minded, not accepting outside concepts and ideas. I did nt know about speaking English, but I sure know about French in Quebec... here, it s very insecure about the language, almost paranoid, without speaking French, you will have many troubles. again, it s mostly about bad management, and rules and mentality that self sabotage. 7 - housing like mentioned before, the real estate in general has jumped tremendously. I m no financier expert, but an overview of economy tells me that banks compete between countries, and they will recourse on artificially inflating the value of real estate, and that plainly kills people. this is the main reason of the homelessness you see on the streets. yeah, the soundproofing is quite poor, and some very old buildings can cost a lot in heating. 8 - well, crime is on the rise, and citizens supporting the law and public safety is not very encouraged by the system in place. in some way, you re better to shut up than supporting the police... this has to change! 9 - the social services are biased, and impose their vision if you want help. 10 - the mental health policy is too wide, and makes you ill instead of helping. 11 - the pharmaceutical companies are too influencing, and make people sick instead of helping. 12 - the food regulation is lacking, it is not strict enough, allowing chemicals, gmo, and radiation. 13 - feminism is almost radical, especially in Quebec, they segregate genders, and dividing us, it makes the country weak. otherwise, you pretty much covered it well. good work sissses.

Great video! Another issue is childcare for working parents. There is no free childcare for working couples, both parents have to work to afford bills and the mother staying at home is not an option for the majority of working class Canadians since life is too expensive. For this reason a lot of people decide not to have children in this country simply because of unaffordability. Considering all the taxes Canadians pay this would greatly help people. The government gladly keeps bringing more and more new people into Canada ( mostly to get voters) but ignores the needs of existing Canadians. Not only you cannot find a house to live or afford one but having a family is nearly impossible without 3 or 4 jobs and using the food bank because after paying the rent there is no money to buy food.

Olá, eu sou brasileiro, outubro deste ano, eu estive em Toronto, Montreal, Laval e Ottawa (em turnê) e conversando com os canadenses, eles dizem que o primeiro-ministro Justin Trudeau é um socialista e que as pessoas estão insatisfeitas com sua maneira de governar. Isso seria verdade para você

Canadian racism exists. I moved in February from Ireland. I used to work for Google and Meta. So, yesterday I was rejected by board of directors to become a manager at the company because I’m a newcomer and not yet Canadian!!!! As a result, our manager is a high school graduate who’s been working for our company for 5 years. I’m shocked. I quit.

[@MakeThatChange]

Unacceptable! Sorry to hear that - glad you quit and stood up for yourself!

[@banjoboy01]

don't forget about the anti-white racism, I went to an employment agency where the lady only hired her Filipino friends

There is certainly room for improvement. But I love living in Canada.

[@1787danrob]

I've been in Canada for nearly 25 years and have never had a family doctor, just walk in clinics. In Victoria BC the average waiting time in a walk in clinic is 2 hours 20mins and they close once they've seen their quota of patients. Not to mention I have to pay 60% of my income on rent so I now rent a parking space of a friend and live in my van

[@briandriscoll1480]

At least you have sunshine and seascapes. Think of the Canadians who don't live in Victoria.

[@ricgunn1439]

Dan Roberts:longer wait on the mainland

[@at6446]

Victoria rent is insane. Walk in clinics are packed now. The one in Saanich Walmart has a board saying they are booked for a month. No appointments until December. It's crazy. Really hard to get an appointment if you don't have a family doc

[@AndreaWhy-ky3zj]

Ws that by choice? To not have a family Dr or for 25 years or you tried to no avail?

The law in Québec applies to all religious symbols and has nothing about it that specifically targets Muslims. Wanting our public servants in positions of authority to not show allegiance to any religion is a legitimate endeavour and has nothing to do with discrimination, just like preventing them from wearing political symbols is not discrimination either.

I'm Canadian; lived abroad for several years (in Europe). I returned here a few years ago and one of the things I love about Canada, which I really noticed was contrasting to Europe, is that we are not afraid to be self-critical (even extremely so), to re-visit the injustices in our past, acknowledge them, and work to try to rectify them. Also, there is a strong sense of community: most Canadians want to help improve their communities and help our fellow citizens. There are indeed some serious problems, as there are in all other countries, and we hope to overcome them and improve our society by working together. For me, one of the beautiful things about a country, what makes its society really interesting and even attractive, is our ability to constantly recognizing our mistakes and faults and try to improve upon them.

[@rayanez]

ok I live in Canada in Quebec to be precise, I'm from Latin America originally but became a Canadian Citizen a few years ago. I'm not white, I can tell you that the examples that you chose to demonstrate silent or systemic racism are fallacies, that doesn't mean that there is no racism, there is racism in every country in the World. But to point out that because the leadership of mayor companies are mainly 'White', it's not prove of systemic racism, you didn't say anything for example of median age of the different populations, that is an important factor in economic advancement of a population and helps to explain why some groups may be more prevalent in higher paid jobs than others. For example, according to Statistics Canada and the latest census you can see that the black population is around 2% of the total population of the Country, but more over a huge chuck of that population is not only young, but recent immigrants from the last 30 years or so. Maybe you should read some Thomas Sowell to have a more broad perspective instead of 'denouncing' racism gratuitously

[@MakeThatChange]

Thanks for your feedback

[@altdoom5205]

Yes.. having the leadership of mayor companies being mainly 'White' is a real problem.. when you consider how many non-whites are in the junior ranks. The higher you go, the higher the pay, the more you will meet resistance and discrimination.

[@frazeraston4078]

Great video. The Us & Canada seem to be similarly alone when it comes to tax application. Sales taxes are applied the same way in both Canada & the US, on top of the sales price. This is shocking at first until you get used to it, if you ever do... income taxes are also similar, filing tax reports federally and in some cases by province or state. FYI, for folks with multiple jobs, one should be able to complete a tax form so their employer does not take the personal tax exemption. means lower pay but less surprise come tax time. Agree on employment & technology, seems like Canadians need to see new tech elsewhere before they adopt... and experience outside Canada not being counted is something many companies and governments here are looking to address, but the pace is slow

[@nagendravc]

Absolutely true. Also it is not just doctors. It is also that the doctors in Canada don't seem to have kept pace with the progress in the world of medicine. In my experience too, like the lady in the video said, the doctors seem to just ignore the symptoms and the things which patients describe until matters gets worse. An appointment is rare to get, and above that, such callousness

[@mactravel112]

It is indeed a painfully slow moving country with regard to progess. Canadians are great with watching the world pass them by. But then screaming about being the best at hockey

[@sexygeek8996]

Canada ends up with the doctors who can't go to the United States.

[@joyrunzel9203]

Aren’t we fortunate in the US to have **none** of these problems! We have no homeless here! Take a look at SF, LA (where all “solutions” are rooted in Bolshevism; “Hi, we’re from the government and will be taking over half of your front yard for homeless yurts (Ok, tents)--true story. Take a gander at any large, medium, and even a few small cities. Have you ever heard of Detroit (once proud home of my beloved Motown music), Baltimore (complete devastation), or Chicago (my home town-don’t make me cry)? The entire homeless situation started when mental hospitals were snake pits and certain factions demanded that people be released. Sure, it sounds humanitarian but they didn't bother to consider what would happen to mentally ill patients suddenly left to their own devices on the streets. The do gooders actually were foolish enough to believe that the seriously ill patients (schizophrenic, bipolar, borderline, and plenty of others) would take their meds on their own. It doesn't work that way for patients who are not in contact with reality. Now we add extreme drugs (crack, meth, heroine, ketamine, whatever they hand out at parties, etc) and severe cases of PTSD/PTSS. It's obscene that we have veterans on the streets. Heath care--😂. Pre Obamacare it wasn’t terrible but medicine had become a CYA project. We are so litigious (side eye to John Edwards ) that doctors practice defensive medicine and carry high limit malpractice insurance (guess who pays for that?). Every decision is driven by avoiding lawsuits, not proper patient care. Post Obamacare, US health care is an unmitigated disaster at every level. We’re short on doctors, too. Many quit and students are losing interest-medicine won’t pay enough anymore to justify $500K in loans. We could repeal every bit of Obamacare tomorrow and still not be able to fix it. The leviathan grew tentacles that released toxins into every nook and cranny of the system. Now that they have buried themselves in critical layers, it would be impossible to yank them out. I have a good PCP who is booked 6-8 weeks out. Specialists? Hah. GI, neuro, and derm? Four to six month wait post referral. I never thought I would say such a thing but I would probably swap the Serial Sexual Predator occupying the WH for your Little Lord Fauntleroy. Can Canada compete with us in corruption? Government employees seriously tried to topple a sitting president and not only were there no consequences, they were able to retire on fat pensions that we citizens work hard to provide for them. Our government is run entirely by K Street lobbyists; our “representatives” don’t even draft legislation, that’s done for them by K ST. How about crime? Do we even need to talk about it? Housing crisis? Prices were already too high when the regime (predictably) created runaway inflation and we saw the end of affordable interest rates. Even 0.25% increase will knock out many buyers; they won’t be able to qualify. We are seeing huge jumps; young people have resigned themselves to never being homeowners. Racism? Again, look to the US. It’s nothing even close to what the make believe media caterwauls about. If white supremacists are behind every tree, where is the evidence? Surely, in 2023 has caught a cell phone video, right? Where are the videos? Show me the proof. There is plenty of footage of BLM destroying property and injuring, even murdering innocents. If we gripe about this behavior, we are raaayyyycccciiiiissssts. No rational adult would claim that the US is not a violent country and becoming more so. Nor can we claim to have eliminated racism. That takes time; it cannot be done by force. Our economy went from smokin hot to dumpster fire in a short span of time. Pre election, head hunters were shaking the trees to find job candidates. Our unemployment is up as are our taxes with the stomping out of the tax cuts. Despite the endless sloganeering about how the Trump tax cuts only benefited “rich” people, it’s quite the opposite. High earners lost their pet deductions and lower income taxpayers were quite pleasantly surprised when they did their returns. The cuts were targeted to preserve wealth for the middle and lower classes. I could go on for another 100 pages but you get the idea and I get crabby writing for free. I will leave you with the caution that it’s best if you doubt and question any data and any stats coming from our government. Those are seldom legit. If the data comes from a study, always look to see who paid for it. And how large the sample size was; how were the participants selected? We are all on our own when it comes to ferreting out info. Oh Canada! You’re welcome.
