      @@remimk I completely agree. I disagree with them on a few social issue policy prescriptions, but it’s always evidence driven and fairly presented. For a lot of the things they hear people complaining about, I can tell from their demeanour they’ll figure out that it’s mostly nonsense the more they get into the Canadian capital markets. It’s hard to deny reality when you are looking at your money growing and growing. It’s hard to complain about taxes when you learn how to structure things to protect capital. These aren’t the fault of immigrants or anything like that and I love that you guys don’t go there very much.
      I just want to add that I don’t think it’s appropriate to judge people because they aren’t where I am . I happily pay taxes because I realize that I am fortunate, and there are less fortunate people that need help far more than I do. If I am able to learn and work the system to my benefit and others are not, it is my responsibility as a member of society to contribute for the betterment of the country, looking beyond my own selfish wants. Complaining about taxes if you even make 150k/year as a household is whining. Crack some books, pay an accountant and ask “how do I restructure my affairs to minimize my tax exposure”. Any taxes you pay if you do that every 18 months you should pay with a smile. LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS and you’ll have a rich life. I drive a 2004 Audi, it costs 5k/year to keep in mint condition, and that includes premium gas, insurance, everything and the car looks PERFECT. Plan purchases, budget total cost of ownership. Build good habits. Your morning $6 coffee doesn’t matter. The big purchases do. Who are you impressing, really? Invest the price of whatever “luxury” brand tax you save and you’ll be surprised.

      I agree with you strongly in this regard. As a Canadian I look at many parts of my country in this manner too, particularly big cities. Like sure Toronto is nice to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there. I would make 30-50% more with a comparable job to what I do now. That wouldn’t be nearly enough to cover justify the vastly higher living expenses. I purchased a house last year for 400k CAD. This is a little under the median home price in my city that month. In Toronto and Vancouver the median home prices were $1.1-1.2M Canadian!
      A comparable house to mine would have been close to 2M in either of those overpriced metros!

    No country is perfect and Canada has its issues. I have lived, worked and traveled to many countries and I can say that this country is very livable. But we are complacent as a country. Two big issues (there are more productivity, homelessness and mental health etc) which affect the quality of life housing and health care are serious and we need to take bold steps to fix them but this needs serious people to lead and we seem to have a lack of them in any leadership roles. We were able to tackle the fiscal issues in the 1990's since there was a nationwide consensus maybe we can come together and figure things out instead of listening to the platitudes of the present leaders.

    Exactly, can look at it both objectively and subjectively. Objectively speaking , Canada is very progressive compared to most countries in the world, which is something to be proud of, on par with only a handful of several other European countries. However, it lacks affordability and as a fairly new country, it can only offer a monotone scenery to admire ad nauseam, great if one is a nature lover exclusively though. There is no place that can offer everything and meet all one's expectations, that's why people travel.❤

      @@PnCBio There’s no doubt that Canada compares favourably to so many countries around the world, but also has its weaknesses. One of those is a severe shortage of family doctors, making me thankful that the clinic at which I had from early adulthood been a patient had found me an MD within it after the original MD it had assigned me had chosen to retire. That might’ve been because of that clinic association with a major Southern Ontario hospital network.
      Job quality has been an issue in so many parts of the world, although in too much of Southern Ontario, public transport is so infrequent that anyone who doesn’t want to drive pretty much has to rely on using some combo of:
      - ridehail services
      - taxis and limos, whether or not ordered via ridehail services
      I’m thankful that any paid work I have found has had at least some remote work or has been within relative walking distance of frequent public transport during relevant working hours. That said, for how long working more than three days per week away from home is practical remains TBD considering that before this month I had neither consistently worked nor volunteered more than three days per week away from home from July 2018. The first four days of this week all featured long hours in the office and sufficiently severe back pain that I have to wonder, even with all the stretch breaks that I took, whether working beyond the week of Halloween (simply a coincidence because of that day being the very last of that month), if for at least four days per week away from home, will be practical for me to continue to do as opposed to hybrid work. Working completely from home has its perks but hybrid work also does. Not since the February 2022 end of Ontario’s original omicron Covid wave have I completely shut off working away from home although as soon as the mid-July 2021 reopening of indoor dining in Ontario, and my having already been double-vaccinated against life-threatening Covid illness, I had already become open to working more often away from home were I to have found such work.
      There might very well have been a huge demand for labour from the week of 15 March 2020 Eastern Daylight Time (when various provincial and territorial governments had declared their original states of emergency due to Covid having by then become a pandemic). Yet before this month, but from that 2020 week, gross income I had managed to earn, from within my main occupation (the accounting-bookkeeping field), had averaged under CDN$1000 per month. I anticipate that by the end of this month, I will have earned more income from the full-time job that I have then that, combined, I will have earned from the three remaining companies whose bookkeeping I do.
      It may take me weeks, if not months, after I have chosen to switch to looking for hybrid work, should I choose to conduct such a search for work, before I actually find paid work of such a variety. That said, working five days per week away from home, with potentially minimal breaks other than Saturdays, Sundays or select stat holidays until sometime in 2025, hasn’t been easy and may not get easier. In any case, as I am writing this message, it’s just after 8 a.m. in Toronto, and I hope to leave the condo building which I live sometime before 8.40 so I’m not late for work.

    Thank you for a very evenhanded report! As a capitalist entrepreneur who has made a tidy sum in this country, I absolutely love it and don’t see all the fuss and downside that everybody is complaining about. My real estate investments are up, my investments in the Canadian stock market are way up, I don’t make it $250,000 just capital gains every year so the change is irrelevant to me. I don’t know how big the business you’re planning is, but you’re going to be a while before it affects you. Well before you get there, you’ll have structured things so that you aren’t taking 250,000 in capital gains but have 250,000 disposable income.
    I totally agree with your idea of go where your heart aligns with what the country does well. I wish you all the best of luck in your entrepreneurial ventures✊🏻

    If you are living in Canada, and you make DOUBLE the average income in your area; can YOU qualify to buy a single detached house in your area? (a house, not a townhouse) If not, then you are living in a place where housing is too expensive and you should move to a place where you CAN qualify to buy a house. Where I live, the average income is $57,000 but a person needs an income of at least $230,000 just to qualify for the average single detached house. So where I live (Southern Ontario), the price of housing is way too high and that's why I'm currently making plans on leaving Canada to find some other place where I can afford to live.

    Than in general, this type of 'statistics' and 'lists' are saying not so much. I can asure you that on several subjects the Netherlands must be placed above Germany.... In terms of absolute and relative poverty Germany outranks the Netherlands with great ease. The difference when it comes to inequality in Germany is a serious thing, especially the bigger cities. As a Dutch I love Germany but past couple of years things did change over there..... Thanks to the brilliant immigrant 'strategy', the same stupid political choises in the Netherlands as well but on a much smaller scale....

    I think it's more realistic to say Canada is ranked the worst 5 countries in the world. If they're measuring happiness based on GDP, life expectancy and healthcare, that's not an accurate way to measure quality of life. Nobody actually goes to every country and actually does a survey on happiness and asks each individual. Plus all these things are subjective to a large degree.

    Well done on another fantastic video you guys!! I really appreciate watching a video without bias or partiality. Great work!
    I think it is good for sure to view these surveys with a critical eye. The parameters were set by someone. That someone will have their own identity and biases which feed into their view of the world and how it should look. I find these surveys to be borne out of a capitalist mindset asking questions about all the things western society says we should value. With all the problems of so called developed countries, it is obvious we haven't figured it out, especially with so much emphasis on economic growth and financial capital and we STILL have gross inequality and underinvestment in services with tax favours for the ultra wealthy. I think it is high time we view the success of a country not by economic measures but by social ones. How successful would these countries be if we measured success only by the happiness people feel for example? My hypothesis would be those in societies with simpler lives with less focus on profit and greed and working all the hours for little return but with stronger communities and cleaner envirnoments would be happier. Just a theory.

    That ranking seems to be really biased towards high levels of socialism. I would argue that socialism makes things worse. In the past, I think that the biggest plus for canada was low population.. which the gov't is doing it's best to change.
    If you want so called free health care that you pay high tax to get.. I suppose you might rank it high.
    However, education here is not good.. behind most other countries that aren't 3rd world countries or communist utopias.
    Actually, even what are considered backwards countries like many on latin america have better health care.
    Anyway.. those metrics are the roadway to communism. So I think that maybe there are alterior motives for making those the standard by which a country is judged.
