We moved from Barrie to South Carolina in May, my wife is American and wanted to be with her family. The cost of living in Canada is crazy, gas is expensive, renting is expensive and even buying a new home. I bought my house for 289k pre Covid era and during that time it went up to 600k. A nice home with good property in SC is roughly 170-200k American, which normally comes with mostly everything updated and land. Our previous home was a linked townhouse.. you can’t get anything in Ontario for cheap unless you wish to move too Thunderbay and by cheap I mean a dump that needs to be totally updated. It’s sad because I love my country but the leaders are greedy and don’t care about the people. Liberals have ruined Canada and unless things change I’ll never go back. Weather was never a factor for me as it’s actually not nearly as cold as it has been, it just feels like there isn’t much of a spring or fall anymore.

[@LeeZaslofsky]

South Carolina is a rural state with low incomes and lousy education. Of course it is cheaper to live there than in most of Canada. We have a higher standard of living, better government services (health care!).

[@endlessness614]

I agree with everything that you said. ironically, I'm also moving to the SC area. The company that recruited me, has an office in SC and Georgia. I opted for the office in Georgia. The pay is very very good, doubled the income of my oil and gas engineering job.

As a financial advisor, you are right. We are living in a highly taxed country. In fact our national debt per capita is in the top 10. When you work, you're taxed, when you spend, you're taxed, when you drive a car, you are taxed (+more carbon tax), when you save you're taxed, when you invest you're taxed (increased capital gains), and when you die you're taxed!

Canada was built by hard-working people with integrity and compassion. They came from all over the world every country imaginable. But were all united in a vision of a great place to live, and to raise their children. The current government which will have been in power eight years has totally ruined that legacy catering to every special interest group that says you owe me money solely to stay in power. The other factor-is that current generations have no commitment to Canada. Oh yeah, they’ll take the university education,, the safety of our streets. The freedom of speech but the reality is when things get tough they’ll come running back Canada and the boring weather The single biggest reason for bankruptcies in the US both personal and business is healthcare costs It is a bit of a fantasy thinking to think that a private healthcare systems can solve health problems. Just ask the millions of Americans that have lost their homes their businesses due to healthcare cost had and have applied to immigrate to Canada because they can’t take care of their families And again when things get tough, people come running back.

What nonsense! Give my regards to Putin, remember me to Red Square. I don't believe a word of what you've written.

[@firstandlastname2390]

@@LeeZaslofsky Yes, Moscow in Russia. The heavy sanctions are caused by some western countries but thanks to the resilience, hard work and creativity of Russians, those sanctions are having a low impact on our daily lives. Russia is actually becoming stronger in some sectors as they have to develop their own technology, similar to the time of the Soviet Union. Also, the support from other countries in the world is at its strongest level since USSR. You are focusing only on the political side. And since you mention it, my vision is that Mr. Putin is defending the interests of its nation and country. Russia is a country with a very rich history and culture, with amazing people and has so many different ethnicities. That is why Russian people are so welcoming, truthful and are not judging others. I don’t really feel any lack of freedom in my daily life, actually I feel more free than when I was living in Canada where there are so many strict laws and where the politically correct is censoring people’s speech in a one way thinking. The living standards and quality is above Toronto when it comes to what you can do with your money (better and cheaper restaurants, more activities, cleaner streets, more modern and the city is alive). Winters in Moscow are similar to temperatures in Montreal. The oriental culture I find in Moscow is the mix of people from Siberia, Central Asia, and Caucuses.

[@LeeZaslofsky]

I studied Russian History for my Master's Degree. I can rad Russian and I am very familiar with Russian culture and Soviet history. Most of what you have written here is either a big pile of bullshit, or evidence of your inability to perceive reality. Putin is trying to destroy the Ukrainian people and their independent nation. He is using some of the most barbaric tactics ever seen. Putin is a ruthless dictator, and so corrupt that his fortune is estimated in the tens of billions of dollars -- money that belongs to the Russian people. He has been the boss of Russia for decades, the result of rigged elections, suppression of opposition, and, all too often, assassination of those who speak the truth about him and his corrupt regime. His treatment of Mr. Navalny is pure Stalinism. Navalny's crime? Daring to speak the truth about Putin. The rest of your bullshit is nothing but right wing fascist propaganda, complaining about Canada's "strict rules" while you live under one of the world's most repressive regimes. How long will you wait before you volunteer to serve in Putin's army? Why are you not already in uniform, fighting in Ukraine? Russia has made itself a pariah among nations. Putin has an arrest warrant out for him in most countries in the world. He is accused of war crimes, deliberate targeting of civilians, torture and mass murder, kidnapping Ukrainian children, aggression against a peaceful neighbour. "Political correctness"? Putin's political correctness is enforced by harsh laws against "promoting homosexuality", using the word "war" to describe what is going on in Ukraine, and arresting anyone who dares to protest at the perversion of Russian ideals by the Putin regime.

It is never comfortable to learn.

If i would have the finances for leaving canada and establish a life somewhere else I would've been gone long time ago ! Unfortunately financialy not that fortunate !

I wish Canada would become a white European immigrant country again .

And you think that would bring you happiness? The truth is no human being is better than any other. No race is superior to any other. No race is full of humble virtuous saints.

It's still a hell of a lot better than America right now, I mean unless you like paying thousands for insurance while still having a deductible AND copay, being completely tied to a job in order to get insurance, and, depending on where you live, you may or may not have rights as a human being.

There's pros and cons no matter where you go on this planet. There is no such thing as a Utopia. You can come close, but there are always trade offs. Better weather can be had by moving to someplace closer to the equator, but then there's other downsides you have to get used to. A simple example would be if you moved to Mexico. There you would be regarded as a "Gringo". The locals don't like outsiders and the business owners will charge you more to make purchases than they would a local. Sad but true. Bigotry is everywhere. Also, in the southern climates you have to deal with BIG BUGS...spiders, scorpions, poisonous snakes. Traveling is one thing, but selecting a permanent place to live isn't so easy. Yes, there's a lot of crud going on in Canada what with high inflation, taxes up the wazoo, housing and food crisis, all which you can blame on the corrupt Liberal government. However, I'd rather stick it out here and try to help change things in my own limited way than to move to a country that isn't a "democracy" and, not knowing the laws there, wind up in a jail cell because some corrupt cop plants contraband drugs on my person or car then proceeds to charge me for possession. That kind of crap goes on as well.

I was born here too, but to be a Canadian by law your parents must be born here, meaning you must be second generation. Universal health care system sucks. They gaslight to avoid the cost. A government job requires a person to be racially French and with a Catholic baptismal certificate, hence my university French means nothing. Hypocrisy.

I agree the cost-of-living in Canada has got expensive. This is mostly due to mismanagement by the current government which you probably voted for that will have been empower for eight years The generations that came before built this country with hard work and sacrifice. The current populations aren’t interested in making a commitment to a country. Oh yeah, they’ll take the university education, they’ll take the freedom of speech, they’ll take the safety,. But as soon as it becomes inconvenient, you start looking for another country to go to.. The single biggest reason for personal and business bankruptcies in the US is the cost of healthcare when somebody gets sick. So so it is a bit of a fantasy to believe that a private style healthcare system is going to solve all your problems.
