Its crazy how almost 10 years of liberalism has ruined this country. Living in Toronto was so much better pre 2015.
Yep. Stop voting Liberal.
If you really see the world that black and white then things will never get better
Canada is extremely cold and we spend half of our years locked indoors. For someone to be willing to live under these conditions one of the two conditions must be met: strong family ties or strong economic environment. As an immigrant who came to Canada in 2014, I don't have strong family ties in the country. Also I noticed a steep decrease in purchase power since when I arrived. Not to mention increased drug consumption, increased crime rate and an authoritarianism that I've never imagined to be possible in this country. I have two Canadian kids, and I don't want to raise them in Canada anymore. That's why I'm planning to leave next year.
Where do you plan on relocating to?
@@MakeThatChange Portugal
Thats awesome! Wishing you all the best with relocation 🙌
@@MakeThatChange Thank you! 🙌
As a Canadian born here, I would agree with all your observations. The biggest shock for me is the creeping left wing authoritarianism (which, to be fair, is not something specific to Canada) over the last decade. It is ruining education, government, and media. The amount of debt created in the last five years is astounding. In my city, locals set up a safe injection site and handed out free pizzas and gift cards. It attracted all kinds of addicts from the outside region and crime is now through the roof. It's like the elites in the country have lost their collective mind. Thankfully we have a new mayor and city councilors but it is going to years to fix the many problems... and far left people might be voted back in.What a farce.
I was born and raised in Canada and recently left the country. This place is way overpriced, increasingly unsafe, and economic opportunities are rapidly dwindling. The bill for the Canadians' marxists delusions of the last decade is coming due, and it will take years, if not decades, to pay back. Many immigrants who recently came here quickly pack their bags and leave once they realize what this place is really about. Bad weather, cold and shallow people, lack of opportunities, debt slavery, authoritarian government and bureaucracy.
Marxists have never been in power in Canada. Nor are they likely to come to power any time soon. Were it otherwise Canada might not be sucking so badly. Your last line is bang on though.
That's is true
Marxists have never been in power in Canada and they aren't coming to power any time soon. Maybe if they were a little more powerful Canada wouldn't be such a mess and in a state of decline.
All true. For me it's the nasty, cold, smug people at least in Toronto - but didn't notice them any better in these smaller Ontario towns 1-2 hrs from Toronto either. And then there's extortionate cost of everything and pathetic incomes - relative to cost of living. So yeah, those western rankings are 100% bull.
@@mpzengI agree. I feel like most Canadians lean into the "Canadians are so polite" stereotype and therefore don't even bother trying. Every time I go outside the country, I'm amazed how friendly people are, and it's always a shock when I come home.
Canadians would have more children if we could afford them. Our government is making life so hard that one cannot afford house, feed or cloth themselves
if a country destroys your right to reproduce then the social contract is broken between the tax payer and the government. wake up.
The Baby Store at Markville Mall in Markham closed. That's the end of Canada.
Whenever I talk to people in their twenties or thirties, they simply are not interested to have children. Sometimes it is because of the cost of living but most of the time, it is because they believe that the planet is doomed or simply because they want to focus on their life.
And of course the reason having children is too expensive is because of revenus lost because of immigration...immigration is making us far poorer?
The same is happening now in England and Australia.
92% of canadians live very close the US border due the miserable freezing endeless and depressing cold weather. Nobody wants go north. Freezing weather makes life unbearable and extremely expensive. Now this cold people are becoming poor. It s too much. If we had a free US-Canada border, Canada would be empty.
Nah. Not “92% of canadians live very close the US border due the miserable freezing endeless and depressing cold weather.” /
@@jordanjohnson9866 ohhh you are right. Actually the correct number is 93%.
BTW where do you live?
I bet you are among those 93%. Am I right? 🤣
It has changed for the worse over the last few years. I don't like it much here anymore. It is depressing.
So when are you planning to leave Canada?
Canada has changed 100% for the worst! Hopefully Pierre Poilievre will make Canada great again!
I don't think that a French person can make the country great. We need bilinguals and not catering to one community. France is a great eg of how they handled their country not good
@@sufyanmukri9610 Pierre Poilievre was born and raised in Calgary. I believe his parents are French Canadians.
@@sufyanmukri9610what’s the example? France is still a better place to live than Canada is. If you’re not someone who has amazing skills or are in IT, France beats Canada any day…
A few things:
1. Like others have said, things have taken a noticeable downward turn in the early/mid 2010s. The cost of housing has skyrocketed. Most homes have almost doubled (or more) in value in the last 12-15 years which is absolutely nuts and unsustainable. Part of this is trudeau’s policies but also the complete unregulated investment of foreign buyers and corporations of residential housing.
2. We have a liberal government that thinks the budget will balance itself. They have absolutely no control on spending. Sure there were extenuating circumstances because of Covid, Ukraine, etc but when they take it as a license to print money and send billions out of the country and don’t invest domestically on the major issues there’s going to be a problem.
3. Theres a liberal minority federal govt that’s imposing its moral ideology on the entire population and is going out of its way to destroy the energy and natural resources sector. If they would have supported the sector by responsible development of the resources that we have (oil and gas, mining, etc) we as a country would be living like kings. Proper health care, free advanced education, proper housing. Instead we have an environment minister who’s batshit crazy and is pushing his delusional ideological fantasies onto a population and acting like a tyrant child. There have been multiple instances where he has tried to impose regulations to ban certain things only to be overturned by the Supreme Court as being unconstitutional. The carbon tax that this govt is imposing is crippling. We as a country are such a small polluter on the global scale especially compared to the us, China, and India yet we have one of, if not the, highest carbon taxes in the world. And then they charge sales tax on top of the carbon tax. If the major polluters in the world are doing nothing to curb their outputs we as a society are being punished for nothing.
4. We don’t have skilled manufacturing jobs in Canada. In the 70s and 80s most western nations started outsourcing manufacturing to asia due to cost. In the US there’s been a shift to bring manufacturing back on shore but in Canada we seem to have doubled down on outsourcing pretty much all major manufacturing to China. The only real exception is the automotive industry in southern Ontario. We have also sold off a lot of our own companies to foreign owners. As a result we have to beg our neighbours to the south or across the Atlantic for medications in times of crisis.
5. Related to 4, we are a corporate oligopoly. Telcom is owned and operated by 3 players; bell, rogers, and Telus. Groceries are operated by 4 or 5 major players. The government actively blocks foreign companies from setting up in Canada and competing against Canadian companies which is why now that the cost of groceries is so high the feds are trying to entice American and European grocers to set up in Canada. This is another reason for why the cost of living is so high here compared to other western nations.
This is only the tip of the iceberg as to why people who have lived here their whole lives are angry and are resentful. It’s not that we are feeling this way towards you and other immigrants personally, it’s the government policies towards immigration. When citizens can’t make ends meat but immigrants are being brought in, given free housing in hotels and given a several thousand dollars a month allowance, free legal advice, free phones, and many other things that citizens can’t afford to pay for out of their own pocket and then hear immigrants complaining, yes we get angry. This video doesn’t help.
That was a lot to digest but I agree with the vast majority of it. I think number 2 is really the key and I wish people who don't seem to mind when their government runs massive deficits would ask themselves who really benefits when a a municipal, provincial, or federal government sells more and more bonds. The current Liberals seem to collectively have no clue about fiscal matters and they are being propped up by another party which has even less fiscal sense. If the conservatives get in, they better actually practice some fiscal responsibility of the country is doomed, but that also requires an electorate to NOT demand more government spending and new government programs. Sadly, I think the money printing will just continue.
@@davidc1878 for sure. I think the liberals see the writing on the wall for the next election and they're planning on a scorched earth tactic for the conservatives. Leave it in such shambles that they or anyone else has absolutely no chance in hell of fixing it within at least a generation and then point the finger in 2030 and say "look! the conservatives haven't done anything and look at the size of the deficit!". This is a similar tactic to what the UCP is doing to health care here in Alberta. cut funding and starve AHS until the service is SO bad that they can say public health care isn't working and we need to privatize. They're on to phase 2 now which is breaking up AHS into several distinct units that can more easily be spun off into private hands.
Housing in Canada went up 552% from 1997 to 2021. More than any country on earth.
We fled Canada 2021 the best decision we ever made. Live is so much better here in Mexico. Food is far superior, weather is 100x better. Always something going on for free. Life is so much better here. Good luck to anyone trying to leave Canada. 🥰✌🏼🇲🇽❤️
Cheers! 🫶
I’m sorry to say that but what these videos are saying is true. Homelessness, drug addiction, extremely expensive, etc. It’s real.
Montreal used to be a very nice city. Now it’s depressing as hell.
I visited Montreal in 1989 and fell in love with the city. Great restaurants where you could bring your own wine and housing was extremly affordable. I feel sorry for Montreal and the rest of Canada 😢
people follow the wrong leaders and ideas ;-)
You wouldn’t recognize Montreal then. Now it’s a woke hellscape filled with trash and drug addicts.
Is Montreal getting bad i miss it
Montreal, unfortunately, has been in decline since the late 1970s from extremist provincial politics that scare investment, progress, and a true hopeful future. Montreal used to be amazing!!
I have a few problems with your video
1: You choose to leave out the titles in most of the graphs you use, the fact that you included them for death and births is a red flag to me, almost like you didn't really want to show what was being measured in the other graphs (total, permanent, student or temp worker)
2: when using graphs to talk about immigration (definition was not stated in video) your first graph conveniently cuts off at the 2014 mark. Trudeau took power in 2015 his policies are what people are angry about. Trudeau increased the numbers even according to your graph @4:57 showing over 300K in his first year in office.
3: You claim that on average Canada let in 250K per decade, you don't specify what decade so i checked using the same sources as you. from 2004 to 2014 (same data you used) total of 2 792 500 (2.8M if you want to round) landed immigrants(perm residence) that is and average of 279 250 per year, that is 29 250 above your claim per year for a decade meaning that is an extra 292 500 immigrants per decade . Big error some armies are smaller than that ..... including our own....
4: You argue that the reason for the post pandemic bump was to compensate for the lack of immigration during covid based on your 250K|/year claim in #3. Again using your own data 2019-2020 showed 284 153 and 2020-2021 showed 226 314 that is and average of 255 233 immigrants per year within your claim addressed in point #3. This makes your argument for increasing immigration post pandemic invalid.
5: You leave out all students and temp workers (ie people on work visa or student visa). These numbers can be up to 400K/year for students alone.... all these people need housing, food and work and that in turn drives up the rental, food markets and depress wages. not to mention the added stress on our social programs when these people start struggling.
6: You argue that immigration is a net benefit because of the mandatory minimum funds, without disclosing what those are. here are the funds required:
1 family member or less 13.5K(CAD)
add ~~3.6K per family member..
not a massive boon on the economy.....
7: You say that we get doctors and engineers from immigration that is an outright lie. the best stat i could find is that 4.6% of health support staff are immigrants(ie people who clean patients ,change patients and feed patients not saying those jobs aren't valuable, they just aren't doctors). As for engineers different places in the world have vastly differencing definitions of what is considered an "engineer". Do i think there should be a good pathway to recognize and supplement foreign degrees, YES.
basically you are being dishonest in this video.....

thank you for your thorough review. a few notes:
1. In my narrative, I don't care about people who come and leave Canada and therefore only look at "landed immigrants" - as per the Definition links you shared. Perhaps we could look in more detail on distinction between the two, and the effects - added into the idea box.
2. 2014 and onwards is non-important for the purpose of this video, because we're well aware of what's happened in the last 15 years - everyone yells about it left and right. What people tend to forget or have no knowledge of is history, which is shown here ( I was also unable to find a more up-todate graph, maybe you can!)
3. I made a rough approximation - actual numbers were shown on the screen, less important for those who pay attention
4.pandemic is not the sole reason for increase, but certainly a part of it. Other reasons could be a fun topic for future videos
5. as per #1 - I don't care about students and temp workers in my thesis. I am making a case for skilled immigrants with PR. Maybe I should, but that could be a separate discussion. Temps and students SHOULD be distinct from skilled worker immigrants on PR - ideologically and economically.
6. that's a conclusion you're making. There was no statement on net benefit of immigration. There was simply a case made for immigration having a positive benefit, not a net benefit.
7. doctors - perhaps, but other medical professionals is a different story. Engineers is the most robust immigration stream in Canada, and it's fairly straightforward to get a license in Canada.. takes about two years.
Thanks again for your thoughtful analysis.
Sad that as a Canadian born, I want to find elsewhere to call home as Canada has fallen off so much it's unrecoverable.
I had moved initially to Australia before settling in Canada. It’s no different down there. Canada is very central and accessible from anywhere, and life is really what you make of it. If you don’t do well in Canada, you will not find the Goose with the golden egg in any country.
I read/heard so MANY good things about Canada. When I stayed there in 2015 and 2017 I was really unimpressed.
That's because those good things were only true in the past.
Moved to Canada in 2016 and moved out in 2023. Taxes, real estate and poor healthcare are the main reasons. It hurts me because I used to really like to live there and I wanted to grow a family there. I hope the future is brighter for the country - paying 53% to the government after able to pull a good income for a non-preventative healthcare system, to walk among needles in the streets and to not be able to afford a home without incurring big debt is insane.
Then there are migrants that did well in Canada. Migrating is not for everyone.
Canada brings in many doctors and nurses, but guess what? They are not allowed to practice what they have been trained for and have experience of. Tens of thausands of doctors and nurses end up in different professions while Canada's health system experiences huge shortage in human resources.
I believe it’s a completely different reason. They use Canada as a stepping stone to continue to the U.S. to practice. Cheaper cost of living, warmer climate, and better money.
We cannot import hoards of people who's IQ hover around 75-80, when the average Canadian IQ is 98. Guaranteed conflict as the intelligence is increasingly more important in income distribution (you're not buying a house anywhere in Canada as a grocery-bagger, anymore, like you did in the 20's).
Racist...
Considering all the problems that Canada is having right now I actually decided to move to Germany instead. The IT market looks and feels a bit more stable and with more positions while the working rights are also really nice. They also changed a lot their laws and getting citizenship takes around 3 years now. I hope it goes well, if it doesn't at least Canada will still be there in a few years.
That’s awesome! All the best in Germany, we have a friend who recently moved there and she absolutely loves it.
Odd because IT salaries are way better in Canada than in Germany and many faang offices where you can make more money. On top of that, taxes are lower in Canada. That’s definitely not a reason to choose Germany
@@ihor4256 What are you considering as salaries for both places?
Big Tech’s are also in Germany or close like in Amsterdam, they also have great salaries. And if you stop to read again what I wrote I’m not talking about salaries. It’s worth mentioning that in Germany taxes depend on your tax category and also the cost of living is lower than Canada.
Another thing worth mentioning: in Canada you don’t have the same government protections as in Germany. That is also part of the cost between both.
It's almost all to do with the growing wealth gap in countries using poorly balanced policies. The US and UK are experiencing similar issues. As wealth accumulates away from circulation more is required to be injected into the economy. It also makes growing monopolies and lobbying cartels of industries more valuable to politicians. We are fortunate that outright bribery from super political action committees aren't legal here yet. But the increased influence begets more changes that accelerate the wealth disparity.
Change for the better can be especially difficult when some people are getting rich with the status quo. I worry that people may sacrifice their scruples to land on the good side of the growing divide between rich or poor. Letting others deal with the consequences of their decisions.
I immigrated to Canada over a decade ago. Now I am planning on leaving Canada and have also told many people in my old country to not immigrate here. Unsustainable mass immigration is to blame for housing issues, health care issues and cultural clashes.
It’s to expect that 1% will leave again. Immigration is not for everyone. My family did very well in Canada.
31% of immigrants leave Canada. In the 1960s and 70s, my parents and some of their friends left authoritarian Yugoslavia for Canada. Now, some of their children are leaving Canada for the same reason. I personally know at least 10 people who left Canada permanently in the last few years. Thank you Trudeau and the NDP/Liberal Party!
Sauce?
I love my country and served it in the military for a few years in my youth. I detest the current government and the fact that people in Eastern Canada keep electing and re electing those woke idiots in the current government! Even many Liberals are fed up with Trudeau. Get rid of him and let's get our once good country back on the right track!-
It's sad to see a grown adult still using the word woke. Just grow up already. If you don't like it here, leave. No one cares.
@@brandonthegreat9313 girl you are so angry! Chill, let the small stuff go in life!
@@brandonthegreat9313Biden supporters. Lol
The prospective choices for the next government are all depressing and incompetent.
This is a great video that gave me a fresh perspective. I'm a 30 year old Canadian dude who never had an issue with immigration whatsoever, it's a fundamental and beautiful part of our country. Just for the past couple years since COVID I couldn't understand why immigration isn't "slowed down" somewhat, or even halted, until we can sort out the housing crisis.
I never really considered the fact that Canada has a declining birthrate and brain drain by default, and immigration can still help our GDP, construction industry, etc. Stopping immigration might not magically fix the housing crisis, it could in fact just lead to more shortages in work and commerce needed to keep our economy moving. I suppose there are two sides to every decision. Regardless, I'm happy to live in Canada.
Ive always had a problem with it. Our culture is dying and we are bring overtaken by east indians. Theyre EVERYWHERE!
How can you not see this?
Bro, immigration inflates our GDP. We're losing skilled workers on mass, they're flooding to the US for twice the pay and can save twice as much there. There's a reason why we have a shortage of nurses, family doctors and now engineers.
People also aren't having kids because housing is out of reach for the majority of Millenials and Gen Z, and wages haven't kept up with the cost of living.
It's the liberal policy that has destroyed this once beautiful country.
@@MikeyPaperactually people from Europe can come too, especially since they are given easy visa too, however Canada isn't good economically so nobody moves out. East Indians are coming because only they want to, with how economy has gone down the drain, even the east Indians are moving back, you guys elected your government, now reap the benefits.
Don't believe the propaganda. Immigration IS CAUSING the labour shortages. The sudden spike in population has coming with it increased demands for services. In particular for that of health care and infrastructure construction. You're not going to solve the lack of housing and health care for immigrants by bringing in more immigrants. Cutting grass - it's stupid.
In the place where I live I am very often the only non Indian everywhere I go (it is a major Canadian city). I want to get out.
There is lack of housing in the major cities, meanwhile the smaller towns are under developed & low employment and we have the north which is completely empty. Its just madness to continue pouring people into the existing urban areas.
Mass migration has really brought the quality of services down and created a crisis of competence in engineering/technical fields. It feels much more third world than the country I grew up in. Honestly, I'd rather live in the actual third world because the weather would probably be nicer and everything would be cheaper. I'm definitely leaving the country in the long-term, I wouldn't want my children to live here with whatever future this country has in store.
agreed!!!!
Stop Voting Liberal.....Time to vote PPC! ???!!!
I love Canada. The government sucks
The real question arises; why do we dont have enough homes, inspite of being the second largest nation, blessed with abundance of natural resources of all sorts?
1. Those natural resources are difficult to reach and expensive to extract. 2. Canada has very few places people actually want to live and infrastructure for modern conveniences are mainly located in those few areas.
to add to the previous comment - there's a reason why Canada prioritizes agriculture and engineering workers for immigration. It needs skilled workers that can make use of all the resources.
240,000 homes built year, over 2 million come here a year! X 20 yrs!
Canada uses Newcomers to pay pensions of old Europeans through tax
It's not Canada however the immigrants who not like Canadians. They would recommend to talk in their own language, be with their own kind, and not sure if many would agree they have attitude and not any sense of humor!
Canada is a beautiful country filled with awesome people. BUT, we need big time change with our current government
I love Canada, i am american and i would be so happy in a safe warm country. Americans are not friendly people. Just 6 months away from my graduation then i will make the change. Vive le Canada
when it comes to immigration, you missed the mark entirely. the reason ppl dont want any more immigration is in large part due to the housing crisis and the fact that we dont have the infrastructure to support millions of new immigrants, let alone the current population...
Are you personally participating in building Canadian infrastructure?
You missed the immigration mark completely with your ignorance buddy. It seems people only don’t want people of colour and asians immigrating who work hard and make a better life for themselves. Nobody complains when rich Europeans and Australians move here. About the housing crisis, are you a construction worker ? What is your input to fixing the housing crisis ? I’ve worked at different construction sites for years now and 95% of construction workers are immigrants. Without them, NO new homes would be built.
@@MakeThatChange “We're just not seeing the supply built that we need," said economist Mike Moffatt, blaming higher interest rates and a weak economy. "And it's a real problem." Actual annual housing starts were down seven per cent across the country in 2023 compared to 2022, to 223,513, but were up five per cent in the GTA to 47,428. - Toronto Star.

the OECD stated that canada will have the weakest performing economy of any developed country for the next 40 years. by that logic, a second world country dedicated to modernizing could out perform Canada.

My doctor literally told me to go to mexico for surgery. this country is terrible and the "new canadians" coming here have absolutely no idea how much better canada used to be.
Yes. Have babies people!
Only thing I got a problem with Canada is why they gotta make it so hard for genuine tourist like me to visit 😭😂 I feel like a criminal when applying for a damn visa while crackheads in American easily go into your country but a innocent architecture student like me from Macao china gets refused 😭
Hating Canada is something recent, starting when Castro became PM.
I can show to everyone my January income and driver’s logbook, and tell me how I suppose to live with it? Yeah it’s better than nothing, but it’s normal to work so much and earn so little?!
You'd be surprised how people in other countries work twice as long yet earn half as much than you.

@@zackfair711 This is not other Countries. It's Canada and it's suppose to be better. As it always has been in the past.
@@dirtjunkie88This is *exactly* what the Marxist ideologues in the ruling class are seeking to change. They want to make the 3rd world equal to the 1st world. Their spreadsheets tell them they can bring everyone up to 1st world standards (and it's a great story, easy to sell - who wouldn't want that?) but in reality what it means is that we all end up 3rd world because they don't understand/deny how those divisions came to be.
One of the most beautiful countries on the planet for sure but at the moment disastrous politics as I learned. I am Dutch, beside that I want to live more remote in nature in the future there is NO reason to leave the Netherlands. Blessed by all those well organized things here but little to crowded now in the cities. Bad forms of immigration as well here and this must stop!! Several things in the world ( my opinion) started after covid, people behave different and more tentions between groups etc. Well I will visit Canada anyway in 2025 for some nice hikes, new people etc, must be absolute fantastic!
Very expensive contry . You can’t live decent life on one income
as a michigander, i hate the fact that i only live an hour away from canada...
1 million ppl in 9 months, this statistic is a good representation of a country that is managed by criminals. How can you onboard 1mil ppl in a country so fast without building the infrastractures like schools, hospitals and homes?
I live in Canada as an international student. I find it impossible to find jobs(even minimum wage jobs), and the education quality is as low as it gets ! not sure if it will be sustainable for me to stay after graduation, especially with all the hate and racism we get lately ! for the meanwhile I will enjoy endless outdoor activities I do every week in the most stunning nature on the planet before I go back permanently next year 😊
Canada is not a rich country of rich people. It is a poor country with a lot of debt and full of poor people with a lot debt. Immigration is also way out of hand considering the population size, poor economy, lack of housing and social services at breaking point. As the economy automates the rules of labour are being rewritten. Countries now and moving forward will require less human capital to achieve economic goals. This is not part of a natural economic cycle. People born in Canada should not be pushed out of their home country to make room for cheaper labour.
My ability to earn a living has been destroyed. I know I’m one of many. Bankruptcies are up over 70% . The federal govt has taken away our rights and freedoms .
What rights and freedoms have you lost?
Great video! There are so many different reasons to not want to live in Canada, but the big two are the weather and the tiny population. Once you've lived somewhere winter is confined to 2.5 months of the year, if it happens at all, you can't go back. The small population means social and economic opportunities are quite limited. Much like a small town you have to think about what's available rather than what you want. It's depressing.
Immigrants cannot be blamed for the cold (although I'm sure some people will try blaming them) and Canada is going need more immigrants for at least 40 years. Canada's population should be at least three times as large as what it currently is.
Xenophobia is not a problem in Canada. Neither are systemic issues like land mass vs total population, etc. The main issue is that it is being run by an air head substitute school teacher who would have a difficult time managing a McDonald's. The deficit is out of control. Less than 60,000 single family home were build in 2023 even though there were 1 million immigrants. No one wants to invest in Canada because of the incompetent government and the pervasive woke ideology. The USA isn't doing all that great but Canadians make 30% less take-home pay than Americans and the cost of housing is double what it is in USA. If you are thinking of immigrating to Canada, think twice. If you want to come here because your home country is collapsing, Canada might be a good option for you. On the other hand, if you think you are going to come here to make a lot of money, live in a big house and enjoy a life of abundance, think again.
I lived in Canada for 2 years after the pandemic and spent 50k dollars on education only to realize the problem that you just mentioned. What I realized is that Canadian citizens are too polite, so polite that they feel the government would feel offended if they ask for their rights so they don't, and when they do truck driver protest happens which the government shuts POLITELY. I feel the solution is to get people motivated to make Canada great again by making tough decisions, infusing nationalism in all including immigrants, and preparing 20 or 30-year plans if not 50 instead of next year's plans which anyway change with the change in government, and all parties should agree to these plans no matter who comes to power. This is just an outsider's view.
Good to know about these things. Its not easy answer and it depends on several factors
As a Canadian first of all we have an identity. English speaking in all provinces but Quebec, open, social, positive, and tolerant. Too tolerant. And second of all ask anyone who has lived here more than 30 years and they will tell you this country has gotten worse only about 8-5 years ago. I don’t recognize this country as Canada at all. It has turned into a country of tribes a trying to dominate the other.
What is this identity?
What is Canadian culture?

@@MrBojo-jv4qq that's neither identity or culture.

What are the national dances, dishes, folk costumes etc?
Clean streets, you've never been to most Canadian cities 😂

Who can afford a home let alone a "cottage".

@@ShomoGoldburgler That was how it was up until 2010. This is the point of my reply. And yes, what I stated is both identity and culture. The culture of living, and identity are the daily things you do, the society you are surrounded with, and that has changed much lately.
Justin Trudeaue is the worst of Canada however we have the same kind of slime here: But Canada has so far become more fascist. Nut well, we have that here too / Sweden
i cant even afford a bachelor appartment LOL
Why are you laughing
Well done Trudeau. I lived through two Trudeaus and I would leave if I wasn’t so old‼️
Everyone hates what they have nowadays
The grass is always greener on the other side
It is government policy to shrink the private economy in order to control the weather. The "Just Transition" requires industry to stop using coal and gas. This will make steel, cement and building material production impossible. These will all be imported from China. Canadians and their government also want to stop mining, forest harvest, gas and oil production and large scale farming. With these policies in place no amount of immigration will expand the economy.
Skilled immigrants can make 5x more money in Canada but the living cost is 10x. They work for a while the go back home.
Yes, part of the problem is that most people, but especially those living in urban centres, simply have no idea how resource and energy intensive our lifestyles are and so they assume we can just 'choose' to not mine resources, etc. If we were to fully transition off of petroleum (which is impossible since that is what made the entirety of the 20th and 21st century possible), we would have to start using natural materials again for everything: leather, natural rubber, ivory, wood, etc. I would guess that 98% of people are wearing shoes entirely made out of petrochemicals and when you look at all the plastic and synthetic materials in a modern hospital... all derived from petrochemicals.
@@davidc1878 Yup, they have no idea. Every time they take a shower they are killing a child in Africa.
I love Canada! I don't believe the challenges we are facing are insurmountable. We just need to be more involved and work on solutions.
amen!
I love this channel. Finally, some quality content based on data that invites the viewer to think.
Out of control crime rates, high taxation and inflation 😢 Sunny ways 😂😂😂😂
I left Canada, best choice I ever made
Where did you go?
Immig should be a privilage not business else this is what will take place
The good thing about Canada is that we do cycle out the government every ten years. This because they become too top heavy.
Canada, as the second-largest country globally, appears to be in a rush to reach a certain population threshold to match its vast landmass. However, this urgency seems to have led to hasty and poorly planned immigration strategies, resulting in a sense of chaos. If the goal is to import people and conduct business through immigration, it should be approached with patience and careful planning. Otherwise, the situation resembles the chaotic scenes of people desperately nailing boards to walls or damaging infrastructure, rather than a systematic and controlled process.
100%
A big problem is that we're only building like 1 housing unit per 10 immigrants that come to Canada annually as well as a huge lack of infrastructure development; I'm hearing 12-24 hour wait times in emergency at hospitals is a thing now...
you don't need a 1 housing unit per 1 immigrant, more like 2 or even 3 for 1 per unit. Also consider the death rate vs birth rate historically, and the numbers may not end up looking THAT bad.
Emergency wait times is unacceptable.
@@MakeThatChange
Keep in mind many of the hosing units are studios and 1-bedroom condos, especially in the large cities where most immigrants and Canadians want to live. Not exactly ideal to house several people in a single 200-400 square foot concrete boxes
that sounds about right. Would be interesting to pull up stats on 0,1,2,3-bed ratios in the country.
We were number 2 in the world in the 70s,now we are 16th!
I urge all who wish to leave, to do so. We could use fewer people here.
Justin Trudeau thinks otherwise. Lol
If we had a free US-Canada border, Canada would be empty.😅. Actually 92% of canadians live very close the US border due the miserable freezing endeless and depressing cold weather. Nobody wants go north. Freezing weather makes life unbearable and extremely expensive. Now this cold people are becoming poor. It s too much. 🤧
It was never "easy" in Canada.
Thank you for being so realistic ! I can’t stand anymore the negativity on RUclips
Thank you for recognizing that🙏
When you have a whole part of your city, like a whole quadrant, NE NW SE SW whatever it may be that is STRICTLY one type of ethnic people, then you have the beginnings of a problem.
stop importing south asians, end of story.
that was a whole bunch of nothing , thanks
wow, you speaking facts!
No jobs
I moved to Canada for the reason Canada it is like the US, just better. Living the american dream. This has become a Nightmare, still a dream I suppose. Canada has become a sickening place of violence, homicide, robberies and all sorts of crimes. Taxes are sky high and what you get for your contribution is highways with potholes, an medieval subway system, corrupt government, rent and housing prices you can only afford if you have a mill$ in your bank account.
I can't wait to get out of this HELL. And all of you thinking coming here do NOT fall for the propaganda. So many nicer places all over the world to consider.
The flip flop and illusion of choice is very intentional!
You missed a few points.
1. Immigration used to be from European countries for the longest time, only more recently it was switched to majority Indian and Asian countries.
2. People would make more babies if expenses weren't so high, bringing in more immigrants doesn't help the native population make more babies, it makes it worse.
3. Zoning laws won't help *cough* . All this will do is make more low income high density housing which leads to higher volumes and density of crime.
4. It's not just not enough houses or hospitals, the very foundational support systems can't keep pace with this immigration system. Transit systems, utilities, and even the prison system is overwhelmed with the sheer volume of immigrants.
Bam! 100%. Vote PPC next time, I guess!
Borders are bullshit. Separation is anxiety. We're coming together as people. It's going to hurt until it doesn't.
I think the larger issue when you see people talking about Canada being doomed, or what have you, is the policies of the Trudeau government related to censorship, etc. In 2015, as soon as he got into power, he passed a law making it illegal to call people by the pronouns matching their biology if that isn't how they self identify. I'd rather not face criminal charges for standing by my religious beliefs.
Regarding immigration and Canadian identity, you ask whether Canadian identity is French, English, American or Indian. In the past, apart from our First Nations, Canada was almost entirely European. Probably mostly Germanic, even.
I don't have the stats, but I would go out on a limb and guess that very long ago, immigration was almost entirely from the UK, and perhaps some from France, then it started to include more people from other parts of Europe, and only more recently those from other parts of the world. I believe the US had a policy into the 60s of explicitly preferring European immigrants. My guess would be we had something similar, at least in practice.
Although there are, of course, cultural differences between European nations, pretty much every part of it was Christian for at least 1000 years, most much longer, and so that gives a lot of shared cultural heritage. Not to mention the inbreeding in all our monarchies. So when we bring in people from other parts of the world, they bring a culture with a lot more difference than that of a German, Ukrainian, or Norwegian, or, of course, those actually from the UK or France.
And further than that, French and English speakers were mostly segregated into different provinces. There are not a lot of French speakers here in BC, and I don't recall often hearing people speaking different languages when I was a kid.
I know where I live, the population was pretty homogeneously white when I was growing up, but we've had a lot of Indian, Caribbean, and more recently I've noticed some African immigrants, and they all bring different cultures. It's not like it's caused any real issues I'm aware of, but these different cultures do change the character of our society.
Politicians have ruined Canada.
If they don't like Canada, get the he'll out.
People like you are the problem.
She put so much research into showing you how fucked up Canada has become. It's time for Canadians to hold the government accountable for this mass.
9 minutes of nothing, bravo!
Thank you for watching!

@@MakeThatChangeignore these losers and keep up the excellent work.
What are you talking about? Just because they showed some charts, doesn't mean they said anything of value.@@murraytown4
Haters will always hate. They should grab their passport - if they even have one - and visit less prosperous countries, then maybe they will appreciate what Canada has to offer.
Or they should just leave for good and free up the housing for people who want to be here.
load of crap
what tf does canada have to offer exactly? im 28 and once im done my schooling im getting tf out of here, this place is akin to the salvation army on all levels. you don't even have unalienable rights, you're literally a british colony and have a "charter of rights" and that same piece of paper says on it that the rights can be taken away from you by the government.
Great video - better than most corporate Canadian news media outlets!
Thank you for the kind words
We need a leader like Danielle Smith to lead this Country to its's rightful place & glory. She can do it, ( & get rid off the Woke Communism that has been eating away at the fabric of Canada since 2012.)
our country is great, politicians are not. but it doesn't seem it is unique to Canada
True, many of Canada's problems are systemic and structural and go back many decades, and most cannot be fixed because they relate to Canada being an economic colony of the United States. Canada is worth coming to if someone comes from a place they consider less and/or awful (according to them), but not for someone who has serious options. To be clear, the best and the brightest around the world don't say 'I want to come to Canada to build my career or to found a family'. By contrast, many of Canada's best and bright exit as soon as they can. My adult children are gone, and I've now purchased properties in two different countries as I prepare my own permanent exit. Let's face it, the place has been badly governed for generations. As for France, for sure it has its own challenges (and I know them well), but it has a degree of coherence in the way it is governed that Canada will never achieve and I believe will make the difference in the long term, for the better. Save yourself. Make that change and go pursue your dreams in a place that will help you optimize your dreams!
Well said 🙌
I am happy people are leaving Vancouver or anywhere in Canada , we hope to lose 1.5 millions of foreigners,and bring back the Canada was 20 years ago , this is really a cesspool of corruption , in many levels in government and politicians corruption everywhere this system have to change, or we’re heading in the wrong-direction?
Natural ressources now makes a smaller portion of the economy. That might be one of multiple reasons
🤡
Everybody has been whining about Canada recently; however, actually few people are leaving. Europe is worse now in many aspects, from crazy numbers of refugees, and the locals who mostly have malevolent and hostile attitudes toward foreigners to lower wages than in Canada. Asian and Latin American countries are hard to compare with Canada for different reasons. What else is on the list? Russia, which was not a bad place before the war but is no longer the case now. I’ve run out of ideas, sorry.
No freedom , good bye Canada
Get rid of Trudeau and make Canada Dream again. 😙
So True!!!
🙌
I think it's different now, you're seeing Canadians far more educated on this subject to a degree we never were before. I now understand how the immigration system is NOT setup to enrich the Canadian population rather to empower and enrich businesses. This is why Canadian wages stagnate and are far behind our American counterparts for the same job titles/roles/responsibilities. Aside from a lack of government investment, which they instead pour into wars and supporting stupid green initiatives that aren't well thought out, businesses in Canada are using these Temporary Workers and Temporary Foreign Workers to undercut Canadian wages of our skilled workers and avoid needing to train or give opportunities to Canadians transitioning into new careers to improve their standard of living. This is why you've got these job postings asking for like 10+ years of experience at times and will pay maybe $70K whereas in the US you would have earned like $200K all while paying lower taxes there. Aside from family reunion there should be NO immigration to this country until our unemployment rate is below 5% and we should tie future immigration to maintaining an unemployment rate at no more than 5%.
what role do you think the illegal immigration in the US plays in regard to wages in the US? One may hypothesize that illegal immigrants working for cash should be way worse for the US, than legalized TFWs in Canada? What is it that the US is getting right that Canada doesn't?
what about keep bringing immigrant and keep oil gas and mining down... not a good idea...right???
When I emigrated to Canada in the early 1970s, Canada was known as one of the top 5 places in the world to live. In the last 20 years, I have seen a steady decline in the standard of living in Canada. The homeless population exploded in the last 15 years, tent cities where homeless people live in horrendous third-world conditions are now a common sight. Canada's government-subsidized healthcare system which was once the envy of the world is now dysfunctional, the waiting time to see a specialist can be as long as 3 months or more. Many Canadians without a family doctor have no choice but to go to the emergency to see a doctor for non-emergency medical conditions. Homeownership is now a distant dream for most middle-class families, skyrocketing home prices driven by speculative buying by foreign investors have priced out many Canadians from the housing market. Uncontrollable inflation and high taxation impoverish Canadians further into poverty, the once-considered basic necessities of life such as housing and food are now considered to be a luxury. Increasing immigration to a recklessly high number will only exacerbate the problems faced by Canadians. In the past immigration worked well, new immigrants were selected if their skills were in demand or to fill shortages in key industries such as nursing or construction. I doubt any of the new immigrants arriving here are seeking to work in construction where there is a major labor shortage. In the haste to increase immigration numbers, the standard on who can immigrate to Canada was lowered considerably, the immigrants of today lack the high standards of immigrants who arrived here in the past. The Trudeau liberals have broken the immigration system by design, opening the floodgates to massive immigration serves their WEF ideology.
I want to know the turnover rate by industry and by income level. I would NOT be surprised if the vast amount of that turnover comes from low wage industries like Retail and Wholesale which appears to have a turnover rate of about 25%. However, you do have companies that earn billions low balling their employees so the moment they get experience they move laterally into similar if not the same job at other companies which may not be as large but pay better. Furthermore, the new immigrants Canada largely brings in are of maybe no benefit or a net negative benefit to Canada. Aside from the little foreign exchange they bring (ex. until a short while ago they only needed to show as little as $10K CAD in their account for a student visa) they primarily worked at Canadian' businesses to pay their tuition and the costs of coming over to Canada which meant fewer jobs for Canadian citizens. Virtually every Indian immigrant that came I know of is sending back money to India, this likely could be in the billions of foreign exchange lost, to pay back families for what was borrowed to come over or to support families abroad.
as if that isn't entirely obvious.
Common sense is not common.

NOT AS LONG AS JUSTIN TRUE DOUGH IS YOUR PRIME MINISTER...
If you actually watch all those videos telling people to leave Canada they do not cite immigration as the biggest problem, but lack of affordability -- of food, of housing, of services, of anything. And they note that wages have not kept pace with rising costs.
Cause and effect.
coming back after 2 years here , I see a big improvement in your accent !
thank you! Welcome back :)
Canada is my home my country i love it and it still safe and beautiful stop your hate
This was really good and enlightening, well done!👏🏻 I just visited Montréal and I liked it very much! 🇨🇦 Every country has its shortcomings, we have to stay engaged to solve our societies' problems!! I liked your encouraging words in the end of the clip😊
Glad you enjoyed your stay in Montreal, it's a fabulous city - especially in early and late summer!
Greetings, thank you for the information. One of the reasons for migration is not just to earn more money. Democracy, human rights, the rulers of the country you live in and regime discussions... All of these create anxiety in people about the future. In fact, the only thing people are looking for is peace. Nobody wants to be marginalized. He does not want to see the political uncertainties created by governments. Believe me, the economy, money, is not at the top of this list. What Canada should do is to select qualified and educated people. The adaptation of educated people is much faster.
we have no mechanism to recall a bad pm
right on point. Love the perspective!
Glad you enjoyed it!
