I left Canada (Toronto) December 2022. I had a dream job, I could pay my crazy high rent, car loan and stupid high car insurance, but that was it, nothing left. I felt like I could never accomplish anything or take a break. 1 mistake in life and I could end homeless, even though I felt I was doing things right. My friends were living the same struggle even though we were educated and had good jobs. I packed my bags and moved with my cat to Latin America and I am happy with my decision.

I have been working as a Settlement Worker with newcomers to Canada for the last 20 years. Recently arrived newcomers (last 10 years and more recent doing worse) are not integrating well. For all of the factors this video mentions. I also see newcomer families returning to their countries in increasing numbers. The Canada brand is not what it used to be. I am an immigrant and my uncle came here in 1969. Back then you could save and buy a house and progress if you worked hard. People braved the inclement weather and sacrificed for a few years but it was worth it in the end. Not any more. Canada is losing its attraction in competing for immigrants with other countries around the world. Also, other negative factors in Canada are that 40 % of Canadians will get cancer, we are the highest country int he world for MS, one out of 5 Canadians have a mental issue. We have the lowest doctors per population ratios in the G7 countries. We have one of the highest internet prices in the world. Now the newcomers i try to help pay 2000 a month for a 1 bedroom apt. They have to work two jobs and see their family very little. i have written an article in the Star about how i feel about increased immigration and newcomers being exploited by corporate Canada and international students as cash cows by private colleges and universities. the article i wrote is called "our system is setting immigrants and canadians up for failure". google it if interested. thanks once again for this video, i wish you all the best.

[@elizavetadolgova]

I’ve just read your article and not sure what city you mentioned: waitlist for social housing is 15 years in 2022 as I was told by the City of Toronto representative. It may be 7-8 years in some other cities of Canada but people who don’t have priority, should wait for so long. And there will be always urgent need to give priority in that waitlist to those who experience abuse or other bad unpredictable situations and people will be always waiting more than the number of years that the City announces (just my thoughts). Also, you have to be very lucky to have adequate neighbours in affordable units because as I heard and observed them personally, it can be hell on Earth in your new affordable home. Just imagine that in buildings like that there are more people who are prescribed medical marij…ana and the smell of it goes inside other people’s units and stays there for hours. I am not even talking that people with mental health issues give their “concerts” days and nights in buildings like that. Also, I heard that few years ago people could choose affordable housing 3 times (they could say no at least 2 times to wrong locations or places they don’t like) but this year it is only 1. I say affordable housing but I actually mean social housing. I don’t know if there is any difference between these terms. I simply mean when people pay 30% of their income to rent an affordable unit.

[@flabbergasted2787]

@@elizavetadolgova Thank youfor taking the time to read my comments. yes, i was referring to the area i live in, GTA is much longer . The situation is critical in my area with regards to housing. the city is putting homeless in hotels at a cost of approximately 200 dollars a night to the taxpayer. Women shelters are full and over capacity. Not only in housing but also the hospitals are at a limit since some have to close their emergency units during wekends due to lack of staffing. This is life threatening to the population. This is happening in Wellington County and Guelph, area where I live. But i hear it happens throughout Ontario and Canada. One gets a feeling the system is collapsing before our eyes. The chickens of neoliberalism have come home to roost. thanks again for taking the time to read my comment. All the best to you.

[@elizavetadolgova]

@@flabbergasted2787 Yes, I traveled to your area few months ago and know where it is for sure. It seems to me, we still have some people who have empathy in this country. I am grateful that I have good people around me, and I still have an opportunity to observe peaceful parts of Ontario and keep questioning if I should stay in Toronto. It’s been more than a year since I graduated from college in Toronto, Canada. I sent more than 1000 resumes to local companies and had 2 job interviews only since April 2021. 2 of my classmates in college got hired only because they found better connections (they aren’t more talented than others) but the other classmates are still jobless. Here I am talking about local Canadians because I was the only recent immigrant in my class. I gave you this example only because I am not sure what future is going to be for all of us. One of my friends with 10+ more years of experience in IT was just laid off, and it’s a well-known company all around the world. I have tears in my eyes looking at young people in Toronto who could be young professionals but so many of them started taking drugs. I tried my best to send one young girl who I know to study to school and she got enrolled in one program but she chose to continue taking drugs… They are more available now in the city and they ruin lives of so many people. Some homeless people are aggressive on the streets of Toronto or they have mental health issues and very unpredictable behaviour that doesn’t give anybody a chance to help people like them. Overall, Toronto collects a lot of donations through different organizations, and I hope that this year I won’t hear that people who have food and everything they need at home, go to local food banks because food is free there. Also, one good man who lived on the street for 2 years in Toronto, shared with me that if he lived in a shelter, he would become a drug addict. He refused to go to the shelter and stayed on the street because he didn’t want to deal with homeless people in a shelter. I heard that people also steal your stuff there and do other insane things. Everyone in Canada deserved home but only God knows when and if they finally get it - a normal peaceful home. I decided to watch some videos about homeless people to understand if it is possible for them or others to relocate, for example, and have better life in Canada somewhere else. I asked people in Toronto (middle class ) what they think about current situation in Toronto and they answered that they’re moving to Alberta soon and are currently selling their house…

[@flabbergasted2787]

@@elizavetadolgova Yes, we are also seeing a rise in homelessness and at risk of homelessness ( couch surfing) people here also. We are just seeing the tip of the iceberg now. I work with immigrants and see them struggling more and more. The future is uncertain, i don't remember a moment of such uncertainty and anxiety for people. In my humble opinion, one of the issues is that the economy has become a rentier economy: that is, those who own means of production/utilities /communications /transportations can charge the rest of us high prices. Property rights are more respected than human rights in our capitalist system. Housing should be a human right not a commodity. We will need to address the whole economic system but each one of us is trying to solve their own individual lives. I don't blame them for there is no collective leadership. At least for now. Maybe when situation gets worse, we will all hit the streets and protest for system change. Peace to you and yours.

[@elizavetadolgova]

I agree with you. I started seeing all of this in my first year of college. Competition who is smarter was more important than healthy communication and collective leadership. It's interesting that almost all assignments were done in silence. My first culture shock was when my teammate submitted teamwork assignment on his own not letting us know why he didn't show up to collaborate with teammates when we didn't have any problems to do our project together. I asked a program coordinator how to deal with people who don't participate in teamwork, and instead of helping me, he transferred me to a therapist or someone like that in college. He said that problems in communication could be solved with the help of a therapist here in Toronto :) I was more than surprised. More than 40% of my classmates failed classes and only few people graduated. I graduated with honours but I didn't sleep nights during 3 years of studying because I had to work on our tasks alone for several people. The amount of work was for several people, not for just one person to get it all done. That was my experience with younger Canadians than me. I am 36 and studied with those who are in their 20s. Most of the time, everyone was staring at their computer screens and didn't talk to each other. My university years back home were the most memorable ones. We even helped our classmates to pass the exams and waited for the last classmate to get their test done. We showed answers to the tasks through the window of the door staying in a hallway. We wanted everyone to pass the exams back in 2008. I still keep in touch with people from my kinderdarten, not even the most recent workplace. Here I asked a therapist once what is wrong with society but she smiled and offered me antidepressants :) Of course, I didn't take any. My parents taught me that if you work hard, you don't have time for antidepressants and their words still work for me. I am still observing this different world and try to find positive aspects of it whenever it is possible but the reality shows that this system that we live in keeps making us heartless robots to compete to earn more money and live lives in fear. I am sure that the same or similar system is in my home country as well. Nothing stays the same. Peace.

[@memochok]

I arrived to Canada in 2020, to work as a sr engineer, had at that time 10 years of work experience and i can communicate fairly well in english, now I’m back in Mexico with a job that has a higher benefits and payment. these were the reasons that i moved out of the country: When i arrived i couldn’t buy a car, getting a driving licence was a nightmare and i felt that lack of freedom about buying a car, i had good driving experience here in Mexico but that wasn’t enough, my money was thrown to cab drivers. Very bad health care attention, me and my wife lost a baby due lack of gynaecologist at ER, i was pissed off like hell, because my dad is a gynaecologist back in Mexico, however he couldn’t help, also my wife endured discriminating treatment in hospital. Low wages, i started earning 68,500 annual CAD, that didn’t cover my needs the same as when i was living back in Mexico. Bad treatment in company: While my wife was pregnant was too hard to move around the city, not a single support from the company on this matter, which put me in an stressful situation. The employer never recognized the job of doing overtime, I’ve worked as an slave for year and a half, sometimes not having rest a single day during the week, and working 80 hour per week. Doing every duty in the factory. Lack of freedom, during COVID: no need to say much about this. Here in Mexico I’m doing the equivalent of 82.6k CAD which gives me and my family a very good quality life, my parents are close to us and assist on any need we have on medical matter, also health care is covered with no limit. The only thing i can think is a good thing about Canada is their maple syrup, i will miss it Thanks Mexico

I was born and raised in Canada 🇨🇦, I’m also First Nations and I left Canada in 2012 at 34, and moved to the US, as my biggest issue was also affordability, I couldn’t qualify for a mortgage because I didn’t make enough (literally $600 short per year) and by then houses were already starting to go up to the point where I was just no longer affordable to buy one in the GTA (greater toronto area). When I lost my job, I would apply for other jobs and I was overqualified for them and no one would hire me. I was searching for over a year before I finally landed a job in New York State.

I have no pension and no investments, no house, I asked the government how much I would get each year when I reach 65, they said 20k per year.

I had a digital copy of my driving record (they wanted paper) and they wanted me to repeat a driving test. I refused to do that and eventually spoke to someone higher up who would transfer it for me. They didn't recognize my trade (and wanted me to repeat that) I refused and so I then performed a series of minimum wage jobs until I felt so bad about myself that I became very depressed and suicidal. I tried to get help for my mental health issues from the supposed great health care system that lead me nowhere and now I'm back in Australia where I got the help I needed within one visit to the doctor and have already found better paying work by the beach.

Yeah I had a friend move to Canada from NZ. He worked in financial services. After 2 years trying to break into the industry in Canada, he finally gave up and went to London. And did really well almost from day one. I have a suspicion that NZ is a bit similar for folk coming in from say US or UK with skills that are too scary for many NZ employers. If you can imagine, NZ employers worry about over-qualified employees.

What? They don't just give a brief written and driving test in Canada? That's literally all one needs to do in the US even if you are a teenager who has never had a license. Basically, if you can demonstrate you know the rules and can operate a motor vehicle one can get a license.

@@Navy35 Healthcare is managed by provincial governments. Federal contribute financially to the healthcare system, but doesn't manage them. So it will different depending of the province. In Quebec, healthcare is a "free" public service. If you are a citizen, you don't pay for the service, whatever every workers have to pay for it. It's deducted from your wages and you can't choose to not subscribe to it, it's mandatory even if you are healthy and you don't need it. That's the biggest problem from my opinion. The other main problem is the lack of employees in the healthcare system. A lot of people have wait months, even years to get a service. It vary where you live in and what is the service you need. You can avoid the second issue by going to a private healthcare service, but mostly rich persons can afford to pay two healthcare services in same time.

I left because more so because of the social isolation and the pandemic measures. Plus I feel most Canadians may seem polite , but not friendly as in - extremely hard to make friends. Ethnic groups stick to themselves and don't mix. I found dating to be extremely hard and toxic. People have high individualistic mentality and don't open up. I am now in working in Mexico / Latin America and my mental health has greatly improved. I am able to socialize and women here aren't as stuck up as in Canada. Real world interactions are valued here unlike in Canada where it's all about the apps and social media. Also who doesn't like some good consistent sunshine.

Just to vacation within canada for a family of 4 costs a fortune. I cant even imagine traveling overseas for a vacation. It sort of feels like i am trapped. Work life balance has never been great in Canada compared to Europe but now its even worse. And every industry is monopolized. From grocery stores, mobile companies, utilities, air transport, insurance, the choice is limited and we have no choice but pay a premium price for everything.

[@RealityExpd]

Don't bother immigrating as plenty of people are also struggling here in Canada financially as well and is only increasing. Canadian government always lies and says everything is fine although from what is clearly visible people are struggling to pay rent and groceries as the costs only increase and wages continue staying stagnant. The government wants more immigrants so that the wages will continue to stay stagnant as companies don't have to increase wages and it means more poorer people that they can easily control in the matrix. Don't forget that the Canadian society is a very cold and anti social one so you will most likely be very lonely here in Canada as people only stick to those they went to school with majority of the time if they do have close friends. The Canadian climate will make you go crazy for about 6+ months of the year with how cold it gets in winter. And of course the woke culture in Canada has gotten ridiculously insane as schools are teaching elementary children about LGBT+ right at like 1st grade and the woke wanna silence anyone that disagrees as they have been banning protests against the LGBT+ in some cities. These are some reasons, although I can continue on and on why you shouldn't bother immigrating to Canada.

It’s really hard here unless you earn 100k/year. I’m earning that much but still struggling and I’m single who lives alone.

If you can’t afford rent you’re fucked, being homeless is not fun; in the winter you will freeze, in the summer you’ll die of heat stroke because the temperature reaches 50*C it’s absolutely ridiculous. I plan on going back home but still working for a Canadian/US company - I feel like that is a much better option.

Half pinoy here who just moved from Mississauga, Ontario to Grande Prairie, Alberta for 1 month and now in Chestermere, close to Calgary. Let me tell you this now: one of my work titas told me that back in the 90s, she was working minimum wage job but was able to pay for rent, hang out with friends in the weekend with savings left over. She was basically almost living large (a but if an exaggeration but you get the idea). So I guess what I’m trying to say is yes, it was definitely from a different time. Even growing up compared till now, I sense a big difference with what I consider to be my hometown (and I still miss it). And my work then was $20.00/h and it’s still somewhat a struggle, even if it’s more than anyone with $15.00/h minimum. While in Grande Prairie, I noticed a looooot of Filipinos working almost everywhere. That city is developing but the cost of living is probably one of the cheapest right now, more than Calgary even. Calgary is on its way to becoming the next Toronto (a city that’s very expensive) because of all the Ontarians moving there. It’s only a matter of time before everything else catches up. Just thought I’d share that. I’m honestly considering Japan more than ever. Or back to Taiwan, even.

I’m a dual citizen, born in North Vancouver, raised in California. I decided to move to Canada and lived in Vancouver, BC 2016 to 2023. I just moved back to the states as Canada did not provide me what I thought would be my forever home filled with community and opportunity. It was the exact opposite and I have to admit, the last two years was really a reality check as to how I would never be a fit nor make headway in my career. I took a 40% payout for a job I had over 15 years experience. And with no raise in sight. One thing that really struck me was how insular and unfriendly people were in my neighborhood and building. The people I bonded with mostly were American, British and Australian ex pats. The housing crisis and cost of living is unsustainable. I gave Canada 7 years and I feel this is a good try. I’m glad I’m back in the states and now am starting all over in my business and forming community here. So long, Canada 🇨🇦 I am so glad I was able to visit every province during my 80 day road trip across Canada. It’s a breathtakingly beautiful country.

I agree with everything you've said in this video. I love Canada. It is beautiful but over the last few years, the city I grew up in has changed beyond recognition in some places. And not for the better. Homelessness, crime and drug addiction are seriously on the rise in London Ontario where I'm from. The people are insulated from each other and our social structure has been damaged by our government. I've recently moved to Mexico. I'm very sad in some respects to have left family and friends but I have to say my daily life is so much better here. Besides the great weather, good food, and inexpensive living (in comparison), the expats here are friendly and I have more of a social life that I ever had back home. And I'm a decent kind person so there was no reason for me not to have a social life except that my 'friends' were isolating, getting older, on numerous drugs, and staying home watching the idiot box. The cost of living means that most people have to work long hours to afford to live. Families need two incomes if they have children. The school system is suspect these days and the medical system doesn't even come close to the good service that is available in Mexico. Our government needs a serious overhaul. I'm hoping to spend a few weeks next summer with my family, but I have no idea if that will be possible when the time comes due to how our government has reacted over the last few years and the state of the economy.

[@Trichsterr]

I have lived in Ontario my whole life. I have actually never been outside of it, so I have no point of comparison. I have3 children, an 18 year old as well as a 7 and 5 year old. When my daughter was born, I had a one bedroom apartment in Toronto’s park sale for $675 inclusive. I then moved to Aurora where I had a one bedroom basement apartment for $750. That was too far away from daycare and jobs so I moved to a 2 bedroom basement in Newmarket for $850. The main floor houses in the cheap area of Newmarket at that same time used to be $1300.00. Now they are $2000.00. I have very high energy children, mostly due to my son, who os the youngest. This means if I don’t want complaints about my kids jumping around, I get a full house. So I have a three bedroom house with an unfinished basement. This costs $2,600 plus utilities! My daughter uses the basement as her room because we can’t afford either a finished basement to make a room in, or a 4bedroom house. We are barely hanging on as it is. All my credit was stretched and is broken, I’m using a debt consolidation company and I still can’t keep up with my utilities, phone, internet and groceries. The only reason I don’t use food banks is because I don’t drive and I don’t have any friends so how would I get it home? My kids stroller is a bike trailer I bought with a tax return so it would last and get over snow banks… but it’s not allowed on the busses in Guelph. If I had the money for a taxi… well I would be in a different position, wouldn’t I? We need help!!! Groceries are costing me $200 or more a WEEK! I don’t make enough to support that but if I put less in the kids lunches, the school complains, even though they only eat the snacks if I give them too many, then I’m wasting my money. Rent plus bills plus groceries equals more than I make and what child tax helps with. I work hard and it’s not fair that my children have to suffer because I can’t afford to fill our plates, keep our lights on and pay rent without any surprises like shoes with the sole torn lose (flex paste will fix that for around $10 for a small jar) I’m crafty. But it’s not enough anymore. I make $20.50-$20.80/ hr and it’s not enough. Rent needs to not just stop climbing, someone needs to reach in and reduce the whole thing going down from the top of the tower by like $500 all the way down so no one is affected in losing or gaining money in the middle, same money in, reduction coming in, reduction going out. The people at the bottom can now afford to pay rent and will fill the new housing you’re creating. Maybe this can be laid out a few hundred at a time over a said amount of years to allow the developers to catch up and the market to reasonably steady at the top before lowering the rent and mortgage amounts again. Thank you for your time.

And having a social life here is so incredibly difficult. There are no 3rd places where one can just hang out without having to spend money, not to mention the totally unwalkable infrastructure and awful public transportation that forces you to own a car if you want to go anywhere. Making friends is difficult, and maintaining friendships is even harder. Everybody is so worn out by the routine work, eat, sleep life, that nobody wants to put effort into relationships anymore.

As a Canadian who currently lives in Germany and moved here because I have a German husband who I met in my hometown, both my husband and I agree that while we both love Canada, we can't imagine moving back anytime soon. We've been living in Germany together almost the past decade and the career progression we've both experienced here is nothing like anything I had any possibility for in Canada. In the meantime, the cost of living has soared in comparison to what most people can earn, so you're always fighting to get only slightly ahead. That on top of the fact that workers' rights and protections are way lower in Canada in comparison to Germany. We earn great money here, have lots of options and protections including sick days that don't eat into your vacation time, six weeks of paid vacation every year, plus plenty of statutory days off and banking overtime hours that you can take time off in lieu with, while your vacation days remain intact. Germany's not paradise and I would never imply it, there have been a lot of challenges for me to adjust to living here, not the least of which was learning the language. There's higher levels of racism here that I've experienced in comparison to Canada as a woman of colour. But I have to say, our quality of life overall is better here than anything we can achieve in Canada, and that's what keeps us here. You also mentioned health care, and I have to say that's also a factor that keeps us here as well. The social welfare system has massively degraded in Canada overall, to the point where when I really needed it for EI and things like that, it was simply not available to me and I had to dip into my meagre savings to survive until I found a crappy survival job that paid almost nothing. I never ever felt my freedom was hampered in Canada, as some people are mentioning in the comments here. For us, it's more about our earning potential, workers' rights, quality of life, quality of health care, food and the rest of it that keeps us here. We'd be taking a major hit to all those things if we moved back to Canada. So despite both of us loving the country, we can't afford to move back there, so we have to be content with simply visiting. For reference, both my husband and I are well educated (both have master's degrees in scientific/technical fields). And boy are you right about having to take jobs that are way below your skill levels and salary expectations. That's something we don't have to resort to in Germany at all! They actually value and want our skills and experience here.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing your perspective. I don't have any experience in Germany so good to hear your take. I lived in Australia for several years and when I returned to Canada I felt that I was hampered in comparison.

What really terrifies me is the LGBT+ thing. Other people can force you into at least saying you believe a man is a woman. Or a man is neither male nor female. The coercive power they wield is INSANE. And then when you talk to people (if you're brave enough) like coworkers, friends, people at church.. you always hear the same thing: "I'm totally fine with them identifying as whatever they want but... (either don't trans the kids OR don't force me to play along). And race is also another topic people are utterly terrified of. It's like we have zero backbone. Nobody's behavior exists in a vacuum. Why are we terrified to admit that a dude in a dress is off-putting at best and creepy af at worst? Why can't we admit that Canadian culture does exist and that flooding our country with people from completely different cultures with completely different values.. may not be good for social cohesion?

This is Canada, a first world country, we shouldn't have societal issues like this. Let's be honest, this has been going on for the past couple decades. Canada has been coasting on it's reputation and infrastructure from the 90s. We haven't built anything meaningful, industry wise, culturally, quality of life wise, or community wise since then. The healthcare system, housing costs, etc have been issues for the past 10 years at least, the pandemic just really exposed the underlying issues and drove the exposition of these underlying issues which have been realities since BEFORE the pandemic. Hyper inflation happened in the last couple years, but cost of living, cost of housing, rent, and especially healthcare decline have been trending in that direction for a LONG time. This is not solely on Trudeau, just like it's not solely on Ford. They ARE culpable and responsible, as leaders. But they're both also corrupt and heading this decline, and they should be accountable for it, however getting the current scapegoat out of the picture and putting a new incompetent individual in a position where the system is designed to make them fail in the same ways is not going to be a solution.

I'm in the same boat. Absolutely considering moving out of Canada after these last few years. Cost of living is absolutely ridiculous, especially for the income most people receive. I live in a run down, small southern Ontario town, not a single house is going for under 1 million, even our old, 100 year old buildings are going for an average of 750-900k. Good luck paying for that working a blue collar job. Especially considering most of these communities don't have jobs nearby to pay for that kind of house. Our Healthcare is garbage, I recently had a heart issue and was transfered to one of the best hospitals in Ontario for heart and circulatory issues. Long story short, they couldn't find a cause, so they discharged me with a prescription without confirming they actually work, and told me they can't do anything until I go back to work to see if it happens again (pain in chest, enzym levels through the roof) and now I'm waiting for an MRI a few months out but have to work inbetween then and now. One time i waited in the emergency room for 10 hours waiting on a doctor to show up (he never did) and so i got a 'nurses diagnosis' a guess as to why i was having significant chest pain at 12 years old. EI doesn't pay enough to keep you afloat, and God forbid you become disabled. I've got family who are medically disabled and are forced to rely on the charity/kindness of someone willing to rent out for next to free. I've got a friend who's medically disabled as well, they'll ask you what you pay in rent, yet turn around and not even give you enough to cover rent and food for even low income housing. And then they wonder why drugs are rampant, crime and theft are growing, and an increasing anti-government sentiment among many people is rising... Schooling is ridiculous, they require you to learn half the content before actually beginning school through pre-requisits. Why Is it needed for me to have a university equivalent class in chemistry to become a firefighter? When 90% of what's taught isn't transferable, not to mention most of these jobs are volunteers, not paid (unless you live out west where forest fires are a large issue) even as I currently go through school, they teach you up from highschool level mathematics, chemistry, electrical, etc. So why the bs? Our roads are in terrible condition outside most major cities and roads, you can't get internet in many rural communities because housing is spread out so far, numerous times have we been turned down my many companies because it's simply not worth it for them to install down a road with 3 or 4 people. So you're left with shotty, unreliable tower internet. Our policing system here is a joke, I'm goody two shoes and I've never had a good encounter (clean record, no driving tickets, no criminal history, etc) My mother has been stalked, and threatened by off duty Toronto officer, my friend blackmailed for wanting to take an off duty cop to court after a road rage incident (his buddies in blue threatening him with jail if he tried it) my grandmother forcefully removed from her truck (despite them looking for a MALE) simply for driving the same make/model and colour. God forbid you buy a car thats been slightly lowered with a set of wheels, my cars been taken from a mechanics lot and inspected by an officer (not even in his own county), despite it being there for work to be done. Your rights and freedomes are little to none, theirs so many laws, restrictions, enforcement, hidden fees, on virtually everything you can imagine.

I’m a black woman who was born in Cuba, the only Communist island in the Caribbean, I defected in Canada 21 years ago when I actually had the opportunity to seek for asylum. For the past 2 years I have questioned if living here is as meaningful as it used to be. My fellow citizens are in growing poverty that it’s embarrassing to acknowledge. Friends that decided not to take the jab were terminated and denied financial help and that includes me. I still can’t recover of such violation; you don’t what to say or who to talk to anymore as people may argue regardless of you love Tru… or hate Tru… adding the uncertainty of the near future as I read the news coming from Beijing. Not so proud of being a Canadian nowadays.

Luisa Heusa a move from the father's country to the son's country. It's ironic and sad, but I believe both countries will be set free; perhaps the one least expected will be first. I wish everything good for Cubans 🙏

Exactly the same here in New Zealand hence why we are going to fight for our freedom don’t give up we are many more than the globalists who want to impoverish us and make us debt slaves.

You and me both sister .... The only rural medical centre that supported over 1200 patients, where I was in fact employed, had to shut it's doors at the end of October 2021 because the doctor and all 5 of us refused the jab. So now we're all unemployed and a drain on social services handouts. The weekly cost of living increases and continuing bad quality of products is depressing me beyond expectations too 😔. There are surgeries closing down every month in Tasmania, especially in the rural areas, because of the shortage of doctors and medical staff. And yet the government continues to make some extremely questionable decisions. This world has truly been sucked into the WEF and WHO retoric. I would love to be able to move to a better world, but where is it?

[@geofflepper3207]

In choosing not to get vaccinated you declared that you really didn't care about your health or the health of those around you or about whether you might waste a hospital bed that someone else desperately needed and that you didn't really want the job. If you had any serious interest in doing the job then you would have got vaccinated - a very simple, logical and minor ask of employees. Millions of little children have been brave enough to get vaccinated against covid. It amazes me how many full grown adults are so terrified of getting a quick jab with a needle that they refuse to follow the example of those children and do their part for society and get vaccinated. I just picture these terrified adults screaming "No, no. Please not me. Give the needle to the children instead". Utterly shameful behavior. Choices have consequences and you and your unvaccinated colleagues made the choice that you folks really didn't want the jobs that much and had no serious commitment to the work. It's the same thing as an employee who refused to do retraining for the job they had and so was eventually let go. That employee effectively said "I don't care about this job so I quit" by refusing to the retraining and you & your unvaxed colleagues said the same thing and so like the worker who refused to do retraining you effectively quit your job and have nobody but yourself to blame for your choice and its consequences. And spare us any rant about freedom disappearing. Vaccine mandates have been common in many countries a long, long time and they are added as new vaccines become available based on science and principles of public health. Just try to send your unvaccinated child to school and you'll find that they will just be sent home again as they should be for their sake and the sake of other children.

[@geofflepper3207]

@@suzymatwetwe doctors and other health care workers who don't believe in science or vaccines or public health present a serious risk to patients and colleagues and to public health in more than one way and should never, never be employed in a health care setting. It's really bizarre that people who don't believe in science or vaccines or public health went into the health care field at all. It's like people who think that skiers are supposed to glide uphill and not downhill thinking they want to become ski instructors. Totally illogical.

[@joshleclair8817]

100% agree with every factor mentioned (exception of the weather, I don't mind the snow). Biggest motivating factor is that I can't foresee a positive change in the near future and as a parent, I need to provide my children with the best opportunity for a good fruitful future. The schooling system is in as much despair as the healthcare. And I'm trying very hard to not be too political, staying within my arcs and just being very very broad. I've lived in a many provinces, I've traveled to many countries, I was once a member of the forces. I love my country, love it, love what it could be. However, corruption.. oh the lies... Parliamentary debates... now resemble schoolyard disputes. No accountability, no need to answer pertinent questions. Anyone can predict the outcome of all investigations, same story every time. It's unfortunate.

I come across your video. What you are saying is so true. As an immigrant here for 32years, I can tell you first hand , it is getting harder and harder to live in Canada. There is lots of pros, but more cons. I am also contemplating leaving and move back to my country of birth. My kids were born here but they are adults now, so I think it's safer to leave now.
