[@eliechoufani2989]

I moved to Canada as a single young man ( Edmonton )last year. I was doing not bad in my home country ( 3rd world ). I came to try to find a better future and a better country to raise a family, but I was all wrong. I’m working on 16.5$/hour pre tax, with barely paying rent, food, transportation and mobile data. I’ve been insulted 3 times during this year on transit by homeless and addicts that I’ve never met without any reason . One of them spit at me, one slapped me and one pulled a knife at me. I literally never met them and didn’t even look at them. I’ve even saw people for 3 times shit on the bus and LRT.There is no career development in this country, you’ll just keep on living from paycheck to paycheck with 0 savings. I go to work and get back home, I don’t go out because there is nothing to do especially in harsh winters, i ended up taking anti-stress pills. I’m really disappointed with Canada and I left a month ago for good on a one way ticket, there is no way to come back. It’s just the opposite of what is promoted about this country. It’s very expensive, a lot of people are homeless and addicts that could hurt you randomly, depressing weather with 0 social life and no career development. What a waste of money and time. My country which is a 3rd world country is way safer, enthusiastic and vital than Canada. The country is busy focusing on decriminalizing drugs and homosexuality rather than focusing on fixing drastic issues that are pushing the country to the edge , things that make Canada a good place for families and education for children.

You hit the nail on the head. As a born and raised Canadian, this is no longer the Canada I grew up in. Health Care is gone. Taxes are completely wasted and who knows where it goes. They do not care at all about the actual citizens who live here. If they slowed down immigration drastically it would actually benefit the people who are already here by forcing prices to come down as the supply and demand for housing would die down but instead they are creating a crisis by just flooding the immigration. I work in construction and the truth of that industry is that there is not enough people in it to even keep up with the current amount of construction going on. So when politicians speak of increasing the amount of construction it is a big joke because we're currently falling further behind the current construction on a daily basis. Even if they issued 15% more permits or whatever they speak on, who will actually build all that? It's not like they have a strategy to say lets slow down immigration, maybe bring in the actual people we need to be able to build the infrastructure first, and then maybe bring in some more people, you know that makes too much sense. Like you said, the politicians care about their own interests, they are influenced by a bigger agenda which serves them and not the current Canadians and especially not anyone trying to immigrate. If you were here before and already own something you're the tail end of the people that had the original Canadian life, what is available now is a scam. Canada as you may imagine it is no more. You can't own, no life balance, all people are worried about is paying bills, surviving. Might as well do it where you already are, this place is going downhill fast!

" If they slowed down immigration drastically ... by forcing prices to come down" What fantasy world do you live in? Of all the housing bubbles that burst in the past 30 years of every major city in Canada, the rising prices just resumed their positions 6 months later. Guess what? Immigration is a problem in all G7 countries. Is there any wonder why? They're the best countries to live in. Look at the problems in GB, France, Italy. Birth rates are plummeting. If governments wait till the last minute to bring in immigrants, they'll look like complete idiots for not doing something earlier, when they had time to train them. If you really work in construction, you'd know, there are over 60,000 skilled trades positions open right now. 6 figure salaried jobs, and no one is applying for them. College aged students would rather concentrate on tech jobs rather than construction. I guess eating microwaved snacks and playing video games is a greater career path for the lumpen.

I have been living in Canada for more than a decade, and despite the ups and downs, I can confidently say that Canada is a great country. However, in the last four years, especially during the pandemic, Canada has undergone significant changes, but unfortunately, they have been for the worse. I moved to Montreal 12 years ago as a non-qualified immigrant. In my home country, I was a small entrepreneur. When I arrived in Canada, I took on various jobs until I landed a good position in a reputable company that provided paid training and better pay. This allowed me to enter the middle class with an annual income of $70,000, while my wife earns $60,000 per year. We supposedly make slightly more than the average income of the middle class. However, the cost of living in Canada is exorbitantly high, and prices continue to rise. As a result, we have less money available for savings, fewer opportunities for family projects, and limited travel possibilities. We find ourselves working overtime just to cover our expenses. At this point, in one or two years, we will be in debt, which makes me question why I am still here. Canada is currently facing economic challenges, and its government appears to be out of touch with the needs of its people, focusing more on international agendas. According to our friend Klaus Schwab, they claim that Trudeau's ministerial cabinet is influenced by them by at least 60%. Therefore, it is clear that this government does not prioritize the well-being of its citizens.

Similar situation here, also don’t forget the insane taxes. - “But free health care” doesn’t count, that crap makes you wait 10+hrs bleeding with a broken head before someone comes to see you. Them hoping you had died already. - Example: $150K in Texas, you bring home $120K. Each of those dollars used incur at most 8.25% sales taxes. In Montréal you keep barely 90K and every dollar of that surviving chunk will incur 15%. Plus bunch of stuff you own is taxes (don’t pay your car matriculation and see who really owns your car). You can get too impossibly good health care in the US if you dumped $30K a year too, $5K I hear is golden already, keep the other $25K. - tax the rich is a lie: can’t even get tax credit from the monthly metro pass, Trudeau took it out. I guess that will show them rich punks in buses and subways! (/s). What I have come to realize and made me sleep at night: now I just rent a room ($500), eat cheaply and healthy, almost never go out for drinks or fancy events (once every couple of months), no kids no wife, no mortgage (buying a home feeds that monster: moves the economy, enriched the bank thieves, contributes to the construction nonsense of Montréal, etc)

After reading the contract, the penalty was completely different and needed a lawyer to decipher the hidden meaning of the ugly penalty cost that we were not told about. - bank employees do things to your account without having the client's consent. I called them to ask "If i canceled my current card how long would it take for the new card to arrive?" they went in an cancelled it and said the new card is on its way. My current card go automatically blocked, I was unable to use it until 7 days pass for the new one to come. I asked her why did you take action without informing me, she said oh I am so sorry, is there anything else I can help you with... - Finding work is hard, we all go through this. But companies tend to have a bipolar character, its that they want you to work for them but they do not want to hire you yet. They'll end up wasting your time for something they are not sure about. Its better to just decline, people cant afford to work for free in a high-cost city for the company to make up its mind, unless you got savings OR the company is famous like Microsoft or something worth grinding for. - The place is filled with mentally ill people and poor homeless guys unable to get a descent shelter.

Well, I don't know if you own a house or if you are renting, but six years ago, I purchased a house in the northeastern suburbs of Montreal. We obtained a $215,000 mortgage. Since the pandemic began, I have received many offers for this small house. The most recent one was almost double the price I paid just six years ago, at $400,000. I have spoken with many people about renting in different areas of Montreal. It seems that if you stay in the same place, the rent increases by 5% each year. However, the problem arises when you need a larger place or you need to move to another place and have to enter into a new rental agreement. While it is true that living in Montreal is still cheaper than in other provinces about housing and rent (because food is exactly the same), we do pay higher taxes and have lower salaries. So, in the end, it is the same.

In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become the North Korea of the western world. Their are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions and the various other benefits, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks.

[@shrybouski]

As a serious question... How will changing the government help? Harper's government almost immediately created 0-down 40-year mortgages and then got those interest rates to 0% following the 2008 crash. The damage is done. Check Vancouver real estate prices in 2005 vs. 2016. The housing mess was created by Canadians' worship of home ownership, seeing a house as an investment (not a place to live), and by more than a decade of near-zero interest rates. There isn't a solution to this without pissing off tons of people who bought homes two-three decades ago and now sit on unearned wealth. More recent buyers will end up, bankrupt and underwater if you crash the housing market to make it affordable. People in Trudeau's government know all this, which is why they won't do anything about the housing market. The problem with Canada's economy is that the country does not want to invest in innovation (especially its private sector) because it's riskier than making money in real estate or selling natural resources. Academic labs are underfunded, and Canada has a brain drain of PhD-level scientists to the US for this reason. From companies' point of view, why would they establish R&D headquarters in some Canadian city when the top talent comes from MIT/Harvard/Stanford, etc... That's the conundrum, and there aren't any short-term fixes. Canada is a risk-averse society. Changing this is next to impossible.

Well said young man, I immigrated to Canada from the former East European block 20 years ago, went trough a lot of struggles and hard work to keep my head above the water, somehow with some luck I did well, but I could never ever imagined I would say that Canada run by an inept JT became more communist than my ex-communist home country. Canada was once a great Country, sadly not anymore.

Typical communists running. from their failed country to come here and work hard but complain because they can't handle the hard work. Canada needs to get less failures from Europe and get people that can handle higher education from other places. Commies calling other people commies is hilarious and still he stays in the country they hate. They will hate any country they live in because once traitors always traitors and where ever they go they will find reasons to hate it like a real traitor. I bet you these are all conservatives.

Imho communism was better; people use to work one job and have free holidays

[@kenfernanadez3110]

Trudeau is a fascist NOT communist - promotes the ownership of everything snf everyone, by some corporate interests, classic Mussolini-style fascism
