Head to Nicaragua 🇳🇮! Great weather, cheap rent, property taxes if you own, and affordable health insurance!

[@siddiqze]

I am glad to see the Canadians showing their patriotism to Canada as a bully can not insult us.

[@arthurlenko9598]

The 'bully ' destroyed the CDN $ cuz of idiots like Trudeau . patriotism my ass.

[@SnowWhite-hr4ho]

That's not true I just got home from Florida and there were plenty of Canadians and they love the states

[@pbreedu]

Florida has a home insurance crisis. Plus, since the Seaside Condo collapse, new regulations now require costly upgrades and increases in reserve funds.

[@aahsimovieprojects]

yes and Canadians are broke, they literally can't afford it and are selling. People suggesting going to developing nations overrun by street gangs and narcoterrorists are delusional, and I say that as someone born in Colombia.

[@mechtechtools77]

Move to Mexico, your dollar goes a lot further. Spending your money in an allies country not an enemy.

[@frasertones8519]

The lack of respect in Mexico is the reason I moved back to Canada. Mexico is moving in the WRONG direction.

[@mechtechtools77]

@frasertones8519 I've never experienced lack of respect in Mexico.

[@canadiantrumpdespiser]

@@frasertones8519 BS!! I spend 6 months of the year in Mexico and I've never known nicer people. They don't like Americans so you need to make sure they know you are Canadian.

[@bigdaddy4197]

About time Canada started to get its act together. It’s a real Shame it took Trump to make us get our heads out of our ass.

[@mechtechtools77]

@@bigdaddy4197 your delusional. Stop watching Fox News it's frying your brain. The American Empire is crumbling, you are watching the final deaths throes.

[@michaelr4171]

Outside of the rhetoric there is a lot of issues with the insurance industry what those companies were allowed to do is criminal.

[@GOC-t6w]

Mexico is a better choice, cheaper and the Canadian dollar has more buying power than in the USA.

[@tylerdurden8378]

Most "snowbirds" would be too scared of Mexico.

[@SueOliver]

You are right... I'm in Mexico now safe and sound.... Canada makes me feel unsafe... I can't walk safely in Canada at night... I sure can here in Mexico. But I'm sure not all towns are as safe as mine. And I am a 70 year old woman.... Ohhhhhh did I mention that I'm building a house here? I sure can't afford to build in Canada.... I'd be to old before I get finished with the red tape up there... My channel has a Playlist of the progress.... ​@@tylerdurden8378

[@tidy]

I refuse to purchase anything involving the US dollar!

[@coltguy32]

The richest province (Ontario) has a lower GDP than the poorest states! Let that sink in. Investing money at home, get ready to give the government more taxes!

[@ijs4208]

How RICH is Ontario when they get transfer payments?

[@Enjoyrving]

It’s about trump insulting Canada.

[@coltguy32]

LOL sure it is. How obtuse can you be?

[@BillMcGrogan]

Say the real issue, Canadians are tired of Trumps insults towards Canadians 🇨🇦, bye bye Florida...

[@coltguy32]

But are OK with Trudeau dividing us?

[@SnowWhite-hr4ho]

Trudeau and his liberals are the problem

[@giancarlopellizzari1751]

Mexico is the way to go.😅

[@rformetoknow479]

Trump is a big issue with me. I'm selling too.

[@mikemann1638]

Not to mention the political undesirables that live in Florida

[@coltguy32]

Another bot account lol

[@SnowWhite-hr4ho]

I love Florida people are friendly and prices are great

[@fatsilver5905]

They should have moved there. Canada doesn't need more traitors here who take off to spend our Canadian dollars in other countries. Stay home, spendless time polluting the skies or the oceans on flights, drives, cruises.

[@daniellabbe916]

Canada is a free country! If Canadians want to go to Florida, it's their right, if they want to sell their U.S homes, it's their right! Who are you to call people traitors? The real traitors are those who support Trudeau and the WEF, they believed their climate change lies without proving a damn thing to be true! Trudeau's science is pseudo-science!!!

[@archur111]

Im not selling my maga home in florida. No way.

[@plrt6794]

Good.

[@SnowWhite-hr4ho]

I love Florida

[@Chanel2424-v9d]

You can certainly keep it! With no Insurance? Hm… Oh Yeah….. You can keep it…..

[@MainMan7012]

Who would want to live in such place! Sell! Sell!

[@SnowWhite-hr4ho]

I just got home from Florida there were plenty of Canadians there. They loved the states.

[@mikedoucet5150]

Florida is not much of a place to live anymore anyway. The weather is awful, high insurance too many MAGA hats. There are a lot more better places to go who will appreciate my money!

[@Star-fc4ni]

Ill buy a home in Florida. Why blame the citizens you fools.

[@detlefalle2385]

Great! Thank you. Hopefully this make a vacation home in FL affordable for me.

[@deegee5714]

I'm in Florida with Canadians. Price isn't the only reason. The ones I've met have TDS. Too funny.

[@Artlover-p5w]

They have brains.

[@Chanel2424-v9d]

@@Artlover-p5w Exactly! We Canadians can have MAGATS for Lunch!! Just like we did with that Cantaloupe Conman so called President of theirs!! 😅😅😅😅😅

[@Artlover-p5w]

@@Chanel2424-v9d and we thank you for standing up to him. What an embarrassment.

[@canadiantrumpdespiser]

Don't care what the weather is, Canadians have had it with America. Bye Bye!!!

[@coltguy32]

HAHAHAHA yeah sure. Speak for yourself! I hope you are going to be boycotting the Super Bowl tomorrow.

[@Star-fc4ni]

Blaming the citizens? You're over jabbed and a typical clueless voter.

[@SnowWhite-hr4ho]

Speak for yourself

[@claudiocorleone7856]

Cant afford them Canadians are broke!

[@evanafurey]

Great more homes for actual American citizens, these snow birds should come home and pay sales taxes in their true country and help Canadians citizens who can’t just leave when it snows. Shame on these boomers!

[@daniellabbe916]

You know nothing about these people! For all we know, these people worked their asses off their entire lives to have a great retirement, if you did the same, perhaps someone would say the same about you!

[@germancamacho3944]

I agreed with you Canadians going to Florida in the winter is the most stupid moved , specially when the Canadian dollar has lost 30% of the value, what kind of investment is that ? I can understand if you go for a short Holliday ,but to live there with Canadian dollars ‘ll cost you 30% more , pinheaded people

[@Truthspreader70]

​@@germancamacho3944Are you a Liberal supporter?

[@germancamacho3944]

@@Truthspreader70 I am conservative F Trudeau

[@lovesweetpeas47]

Why shame on us boomers, we have worked all our life and have the right to spend our winters where we please. Winters in Arizona are so much warmer, than at home. Why should I stay home just because you can’t go south. We pay our share in taxes to Canada, paid taxes all our working years and now retired and still paying taxes. So dont say shame on baby boomers who have earned the right to spend warmer winters.

[@brenrenn8306]

Been in the United States 12 years due to marriage Canada for 40+ years prior to that, we have two properties here in the United States, still have my original house in Windsor Ontario. We cross back-and-forth in five minutes, and quite frankly I’m getting so tired of the United States, it is not cheaper by any means when you count for the dollar difference and the political climate here is absolutely nauseating. I can’t believe the amount of people here who subscribe to Trump and his element, absolute stupidity. The ignorance is off the charts in certain areas. Sorry you have it way better and your healthcare , with all its faults, is a fraction of what we pay and your streets are far more safer. We’re hoping to get back and move to Canada when the spouse retires. Used to love the United States, now under this regime, it’s a horrible place to live and getting worse. sorry, America is not great

[@coltguy32]

And you honestly think Canada is better under the last 9 years of Trudeau? Record high crime rates and record numbers of people lining up at food banks! Don't worry, Biden is out, the USA will get better....Trump is by no means perfect, but he is WAY BETTER than the alternative! And our health care system has gone down the drain too!

[@canadiantrumpdespiser]

Well said!!! Hope you get out ASAP.

[@lynwill9946]

This US leadership is pathetic.

[@747-pilot]

As a Canadian myself I can say it is FANTASTIC. Love it! could not have asked for better!

It will be wonderful to watch Florida real estate values plummet due to this. 👏

[@SnowWhite-hr4ho]

I didn't see this fake news and I just came back today

[@derekorgan3682]

It’s because our dollar is super low and it’s a great time to cash in lol. That’s it that’s all…

[@StéphaneDussault-b7y]

Simple: Trump

[@coltguy32]

Sure sure

[@MrEjanusie]

Trump?? How about Trudeau, NDP, and the upcoming globalist puppet Carney about to fill the seat ??!!

[@antoxa.310]

This government has turned Canada into a 3rd world country! The US GDP per capita has been skyrocketing while ours has been in freefall ever since Turdo was elected. Now a decade later, and with the Canadian peso becoming worth less and less each day, we've reached a point where we can't even afford things that were so common for our parents. Snowbirding in Florida was easily affordable to anyone who wanted. How far our country has fallen...

[@Chanel2424-v9d]

How little you know….. Now talk Investors….

[@SnowWhite-hr4ho]
