Quebckers are friendly ... we are a unique nation in Canada .... i agree with you , Toronto, Vancouver , Calgary dont have any canadian values and culture , it is now asians from China and India ....
My wife and I left Canada also. Living in Turkey now. Worked hard all my life, never been able to build a sustainable retirement. The system is rigged if you don't have a unionized or government job.
How is that working for you guys? I have been planning on moving there as well. Canada is so boring this is why I am here watching these videos and reading these comments and realized i am not alone
@@tkdamusicman move to Asia and teach English in Thailand, Cambodia or Vietnam. Start an online business. A lot of expats miss products back home. A lot of branded clothing factories in Vietnam and Cambodia and you can buy them for cheap sell them for profit online.
I was fortunate enough to leave Canada to Greener pastures to the USA. I first immigrated to Canada with a professional degree but the job wasn't paying as much due to the high cost of living. I still couldn't make ends meet. I was able to get a job in the State that pays me very well. Everything seems to be so much cheaper in the states. To anybody who could get out of Canada, do it.
Me too, and for 81 years. I've also been everywhere in Canada, the USA, and most of Europe. in sum,, I can't imagine living anywhere other than Montreal.
I also left Canada after having lived there for almost 9 years for similar reasons. I knew deep down that I had to hear you and watch this video. That’s spot on and quite a divine message. This resonates with me a great deal. You deserve better since you can do better and so do we.
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.
This is spot on! For many years, I could not pinpoint the exact reason why I didn't have a strong sense of community in Canada, it's because we have too many boundaries that made us become distant to each other...
I’m Ukrainian Canadian also left Canada for south east Asia for same reasons. 5000$ wasn’t enough for me to live a normal life there so now my cost of living is half of that and I live 10 minutes from a white sand beach and travel with plenty moneys still left in savings.
I feel you, I was actually born in Europe. Moved to Canada, I’m starting to think this country isn’t for me. It’s super cold and nothing happens in the city I’m in. It’s horrible 😢 and boring. I’ve lived across Europe and I just want to leave. I thought Canada was “THAT” country. It’s so expensive here🥲.
Europe is the place to be. What's the point of life if you spend 40-50 hours of your life working each week barely being able to afford bills. To only get an allowance of 2-3 weeks vacation every year? If you can even afford to take a vacation. Meanwhile, other countries have a minimum of 1 month vacation with many sectors allowing you to build up more vacation time. A good example of that is Australia. My Wife's cousin lives in Australia working as a Nurse and she get's 2 months paid vacation every year. That's far better than the joke of a vacation we get in Canada.
Never mind. For one that leaves there are 50 in line waiting to immigrate to Canada. In a globalized world you can live where you feel more comfortable. Some Canadians and immigrants move because they can not stand those looong winters. Some move because they think Canada is too liberal. But at the end of the day , you must adapt to Canada. Canada, its weather and polices will NOT adapt to you.
I get it, I was born & raised here, and I've seen many people come & go--most of them were not well prepared from the start. Some even not knowing anything at all.
@@europeanlegend9347all good point but the Third World War is raging in Europe and Australia 🇦🇺 was extremely bad with the lockdown and shutting people with rubber bullets during a peaceful manifestation 😅
I have concerns with so many European countries regarding the mass, especially unvetted migration though, and people like Humza McYousaf complaining that there are too many white people in positions of power in Scotland (imagine that - there are Scottish people in Scotland).
100%, I’m born and raised here, grew up in Ontario, moved to Quebec, to Alberta and now BC, i just know in my heart I’m not meant to live here, I travel to Thailand every year just to escape the dullness in CA, but I want to live and work elsewhere in the world…
As someone else said, Canada is no longer a country. It is an economic zone. You know what happens to economic zones when the economy goes down? They close down.
I usually wouldn't waste my time when I see headlines like these and with so less number of subscribers. Algorithm decided to show this in my feed and to my surprise this is so well articulated. Kudos to you for making this video.
Loneliness in Canada is terrifying! I volunteer at a Retirement Home! Some residents pray daily at the chappel for death. Only a few are visited by their family members; even during the Christmas season. Winter and gray skies for six months of the year is lethal. My Canadian born children live in California. Glad they emigrated to the U.S.
I came to Montreal in 2008 as an expat, 4 years later got my permanent residency and later my citizenship. I cannot agree more with everything you say. And it's getting worse and worse each year. And to add to the subject of the distance between people, if it's bad for a young person who was born (or at least raised) in Canada, imagine coming here over 30 yo, married and with 2 kids.
well, Montreal is the best city with a soul and life in Canada . I dont know where you are from but if you are not happy in Montreal , you will not be happy anywhere in the world .
@@user-iw4jl6bc8hI'm From Rio de Janeiro, so I know what a city with soul and life is. I'm pretty sure you are well served of booze and sex in MTL. But it won't go beyond that. But my point was related to Canada's issues in general. The violence and cost of living have exploded in the last 6 years. It's still far from what I faced in Brazil, but it's catching up fast
When I see this video and others, I realized that there are many people of different backgrounds, some Christians, some Muslims, some East Europeans who grew up in Communism... people who chose to live in Canada, people who were thriving at some point... and then, in last 2-3 years, something happened that crossed the line from their point of view... something that was beyond their principles, belief and moral values to accept for themselves or for the future of their children... and so, many people are thinking to leave or already left the country. I consider that an important factor is also the fact that none of us, immigrants, were inspired to feel patriotic about Canada. That is why, coming or leaving, are easy options, with no strong feelings keeping people tied. From the very beginning it was a surprise for me, coming from Romania where I was raised to love my country, to work for the good and prosperity of my country, like an ideal that always gave motivation and inspiration. In 2002-2003 I was eager to see how Canada Day is celebrated, but nobody did anything, other than staying home. However, on the weekend of Canada Day, they all celebrated the diversity of sex. Canada Day assimilated pride day. There was no celebration and no events about loving Canada, but all about loving sex in all forms and with anyone... I went to see out of curiosity the so-called "pride parade". I saw balloons and candies in penis shapes, tens of men completely naked in the middle of the main downtown street, prostitution, simulation of sexual perversions in the parade, other harlotry and inappropriate behavior for the eyes of a child, took place on the street.. For me it seemed disgusting, like moving the bedroom affairs in the street, and being forced to watch porno movies (bad type, with ugly naked men) in the street. After having kids, I tried to always spend that Canada Day weekend out of the city, to not expose my kids to that view. Many times I took trips in US on that weekend and it was close to America Day, Independence Day, where I admired how patriotic everybody celebrated in America. It is true that in school the kids are singing "Oh, Canada" every morning, and they learn to love Canada. However, adult immigrants, people with families, or straight, don't find a strong motivation to have a nationalist feeling about Canada, which is not even properly celebrated, so there are not enough feelings developing in order to stay in good times and bad times, like the difference between a marriage for love or a marriage for interest.
We left Canada a few months ago. We miss Toronto sometimes but your video is a reminder of why we left. Everything you said here is so true. So glad we left and are happy now living in Dubai ❤
I think it is getting too expensive. I have lived here all my life and boredom has never been an issue. Grew up poor and retired wealthy, so it was a land of opportunity for me. Hard to start out here now I think.
Montreal is the best city all services are available 24 hr . You can dnace all night il 8 am . Pharmacies are opened 24 h, some restaurants are opened 24 hr .... you are ignorant .... ENglish CAnada is boring and no soul ( Toronto, Vancouver)
I am Canadian. I have lived in China for more than 12 years. When I visit Canada, I can't believe how anyone tolerates living there. Not just expensive, but everyone I know has a simple cycle of sleep, work, eat, watch TV and sleep- REPEAT. WHY live like that? I have a much better life where I go out and meet with friends, eat good food and pretty much live life you feel. Not forced to survive and just exist. Canada has lost its way and the sheople have let it happen. OH yeah- Franchised by the ruling elite- YES!
One major aspect lacking in Canada is a soul. Having relocated from Canada to the USA 23 years ago, I've observed that, regardless of any criticisms one may have about Americans, they undeniably possess distinctive personalities. Though they might be boisterous, assertive, and sometimes overbearing, they exhibit strong opinions and a fervent spirit. THEYRE ALIVE! Each return to Canada I notice the only thing they are passionate about is their disdain for Trump and the fact that they are not Americans (God forbid). They blindly support woke politics, which I find quite off-putting. Canada is over!
Other than the rampant racism, the poverty wages and the overlord boss syndrome, the over-the-top health care expense, political batshit craziness, add that most of the world can't stand Americans, well ya, America is just swell. If Canada is garbage, the USA is the entire dump.
Most Canadians are the walking dead. I’ve been to Florida and South Carolina on long trips and meet some of the nicest people. Invited me golfing and hang out. Canada is cold and so are the people. Nobody cares about you here. I want to move to Florida but I don’t know how and for what job. Plus I’m only 10 years from retirement and pension so I need to stay. It sucks though
This is absolutely the worst thing about this country because all of our issues stem from this and are made worse by this. Until Canadians shake off this woke malaise, they will forever be held captive by a boring soul-sucking ideology.
There is something for everyone. Canada is not for you and you clearly made the right choice. Staying and being upset would not have made this a better place, so it is also good you opened space for proud, happy and alive Canadians.
I gave you a thumbs up just for pointing out that health care in Canada is not free. I don't know why so many people continue to think health care is free, as you point out, we pay a lot of taxes to pay for health care.
Canada is only good in the summer when it is not raining or in March for skiing! Moved from Canada to Florida 23 years ago and I do not miss its extremely slow healthcare system and high income taxes.😉
@@jontyrhodes4155if he works remote and move to cheaper countries like Thailand or the Philippines while still making the american dollar he can live very good and possibly retire early
Small businesses are painted as "dangerous" by government and media. The public buys into it and supports the regulations that are unaffordable for small businesses. The most recent example was BC where a fraudulent claim that milk was tainted was amplified by the press. This resulted in new regulations causing further consolidation of dairy into a few large entities.
Canada is mostly a one-sided left-wing country. left-wing politicians tend to cater more to big corporations than right-wing politicians believe it or not. Let me explain... left-wing politicians tend to implement more regulations that are unfriendly to business owners. The only businesses that can manage the burden of regulations and red tape are big corporations. They are also the only kinds of businesses that can afford a lawsuit. The corporations pass the cost of compliance onto the consumers, so when they hire compliance teams, they put the cost of that into the products. Large corporations don't mind the regulations all that much because it keeps new more innovative businesses from springing up and taking market share, they'll even lobby politicians for more regulations. They donate to political campaigns and in turn, politicians pass regulations or do things that benefit the corporations.
In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become the North Korea of the western world. Their are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions and the various other benefits, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Well Canada, you had a good run. Time for Canucks to move to an emerging country. We welcome you here in Southeast Asia.
Dude I’m sorry that happened to you! I try to tell my siblings about stories like that and they roll their eyes and think I’m a conspiracy theorist. It’s not a conspiracy when it’s true people! One thing I wanted to add is people don’t talk about enough is multiculturalism = cheap labor. That’s why they want people to immigrate to their frozen country. A lot of times the janitor cleaning the floors in canada is a doctor In his own country! It’s insane.
@@LastingLegacyLA Yup, I have been facing a backlash since 2004. So I know. People just want to live in denial in Canada, also they are very arrogant and conceited and don't ever want to consider other countries because in their mind Canada is the best country in the world. Whatever!
I think you should not have left Philippines in the first place. You could not adjust in Canada, so left for USA. Then could not adjust in USA. So back to the home base.
I feel that they refuse to create public spaces for people to hang out. You just need some benches put together in a circle in a park and maybe some landmark or fountain in the middle to look at, but no. They would only want you to walk or bike in the park, maybe have a piknik with family, but that's about it. In European parks, they have something for everyone in public parks. Playgrounds for kids, places to have coffee for the parents, basketball courts for teens, chess tables for the seniors, chairs surrounding some statue or fauntain for people to chat and so on all nearby each other, so people of all kinds intermingle. We all love the European old streets with places where people actually want to be. Why can't we have that here? Why is it just in private settings like Wonderland or the mall that we are allowed to have fun? Is it the protestant heritage that dictates you to only mend your garden and have no life outside of work and family?
Those are all great ideas! Yes, I think if they made it easier for people/merchants to set up shop. We would have more culture! There are so many red tapes around setting up shop that we always end up with a corporate starbucks or tim hortons lol
They do this because they don’t want people congregating, sharing similar thoughts and figuring out their govt is not for them. They know if people spend more time Together they’ll start figuring things out. They’re intentionally trying to keep you miserable and isolated.
Yes. They do not want people to get together, share ideas and complaints an vote the government out. They want people divided, lonely and easily controllable. The govt is VERY AFRAID of united people.

Keep making videos on this subject it's very interesting and wildly popular with views. Plus there are many people that feel the same way but they hide those feelings and keep it to themselves or afraid to bring this subject under light. My friend left Canada recently too, said and told similar things and even more.
I shared this video to tell my story. I wonder if I should make more. My niche is in the personal growth and development space and I'm worried that it will shift focus away from that. I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Oh, it's not just you. Unfortunately, a lot of people in Canada and abroad get brainwashed by the marketing. Lovely nature and resources, vast land, after that....................... 🤐
In Canada the rent is too damn high and the wages are too damn low. The medical system here is completely screwed. The government has brought in millions of immigrants since Justine Dildeau became prime minister. In that same time the baby boomers have reached the age, (70+) where they need a lot of medical care. In this time they haven't built hospitals for this increased need. There weren't enough hospitals 10 years ago. You can't find a family doctor. Many doctors are retiring and just closing their practices. You have to go to the emergency room at the hospital and wait times can be 16 hours or more. Kids are pushed to go to University and take on tons of debt and in most cases the "education" they get is worthless and they end up with a job they could have gotten out of highschool with no debt. For anyone thinking of moving to Canada consider this; our economy is about to crash real bad. I can think of better places to be than here when times get really tough.
I live in British Columbia and make $60,000 a year and my income tax is $15,566.18. I also had a ringing in my ear. I saw 4 GP's 2 specialist before I found a doctor who knew what it was. I also saw an ear, nose throat doctor and an allergy specialist. It took about 2 years to figure out I had BPPV and allergies. I'm also completely fed up with Canada and I just got my permanent resident visa for Mexico. The problem is, it's not cheap in Mexico anymore either. Although, rent is about half the price and I don't have to live in a frozen wasteland for half the year.
Im in south korea for vaca and not even in a tier 1 city and its busy everyday. People were out on a monday night.. its wednesday and not even 5 pm and the mall is full... Lots of ppl in the subway. Tech is everywhere and so much to do. Like legit right now, i am soaking my feet in an outdoor foot bath at the largest spa in the world (less than 20$). Had an amazing dinner for 2 for less than 60$ (tax included and no tipping culture)... I swear if my husband gets his break, we're gonna move out of canada...
52 years old male turk. Selling my paid off house in Montreal suburbs. 650 000 cad in Turkiye to live like a Sultan. Half the year here is so lame did it all . Bored as hell now. Can't wait to dive for mussels.
your gripes are legit. canadians aren't as loud and the sun doesn't shine enough. i did live abroad for some years, and returned realizing canada is a great place. sunshine just isn't enough. but it also depends on what part of your life you are in. young and mobile - go travel. see the world. wanting to raise a family and need to know there is good education, healthcare, and safety, canada will look a lot better. good luck with your travels.
I immigrated to Canada from Poland 34 years ago. I was 20 full of life and optimism. Every year I said to myself… next year going to be better. I agree with everything said above except…. Canada and US is only place where you can have good life by working on construction jobs. It is very difficult to get your own company but if you get a break and make it then it’s great. But not everyone is lucky. Working for somebody you will never get anywhere ( unless you get some Ceo job).
Healthcare is the big issue (joke) in Canada!! It takes you forever to see a specialist!!!!! This is the main reason makes me seriously concerned about moving to another country. I’m planning on it now
Lived there for 6 months last year. Came back home to the Philippines back in January. I like Canada, it's a place that works, but I don't think I'll be staying there for that long ever again. It's chill in the summer, not much to do but at least you can go out and get some sun but when winter time comes it's dull and depressing AF!
Where did you move, Dubai? Dubai or Cyprus seem like good options to me, I know I'm leaving Canada at one point in my life that's for sure. There were also some issues that arose during the pandemic, but I'll be banned by youtube if I speak about it. But for sure, if people aren't allowed to think differently or do different things, is Canada really diverse? It lacks neurodiversity big time.
I do wonder what the breaking point is for Canada with the price of food, cell phone bills and weird mortgages that have to be renewed. I was just in Canada last week ( in Delta) and loved it. I don't think your life is that boring. I do agree that you can be individualistic but also private. I saw an old woman with a walker and a bag of groceries walking as slow as a turtle, bent over. No one helped her. If you hate crowds and love being outdoors, Canada is great. I know you say that the country is geared told older people but I saw many older people who seemed to be in financially dire straits. I do feel at home in Canada, much more so than the US. I do think the Canadian government is not doing enough to solve the immediate issues of sky high food prices, renewing rents and healthcare issues.
Sorry but as bad as the US may be at the moment, we are no where as bad as Canada. You may have more of it in liberal states such as ComiCal, Oregon, Washington, New York City, Chicago but in your red states especially life is pretty good. Everything everywhere is getting more expensive, wokeism is again much worse in yiur blue states. My family lives a very good life in the south eastern US on a single modest income. No I'm so thankful for this country. Could it get worse, oh of course, but even as bad as Biden is, we still aren't ehat Canada or the UK is.
Canada is a very, very boring country. I totally agree with all of this. I’ve lived in all the major cities in canada. Alberta is especially boring with the same franchise stores and strip malls everywhere but outside of the core parts of other major cities, the situation is the same. One thing that is frustrating is that any sort of “fun” is generally some sort of outdoor sport (skiing, hiking, snowshoeing etc) which are boring activities that I don’t enjoy. Vancouver and Montreal are the best of the big cities. There is at least more of a cafe culture and more mom and pop shops but they are also super woke (especially Montreal.) My dream is to move to the US!
A lot of the lifestyle complaints you have are not unique to Canada. They're much the same throughout the western world. It's a consequence of our advanced stage of development and our history. For example most western countries have an aging population because most of them had massive population growth in the 50s and 60s.
We lack culture. To me Canada feels soulless and this has nothing to do with our ageing population. Large corporations dominate various industries making it difficult for individuals and families to compete. Tight zoning laws and regulations are also to blame. The large corporations influences the career opportunities available to us Canadians. The result is we all have homogenized lives, depriving us of diversity and culture. That is prominent Canadian problem. How many mom and pop shops do we have when compared to Europe, Mexico or even the US? Some stats: "Canada is the second largest franchise industry by number of outlets, with over 76,000 franchised outlets in operation. It is also the second largest franchise industry by economic output, generating over $170 billion in sales annually." This is WILD considering our small population when compared to other countries around the world. We truly lead cookie cutter lives. link: www.franchise101.net/canadian-franchise-statistics

All valid points! Luckily for me, I love the outdoors especially in Winter . And that makes up for a lot. It seems the infrastructure hasn't changed much since the 70's and the social aspects of life in Canada used to be a lot better here, for sure! Since the Politically Correct BS started in the 90]s it has gone down hill dramatically. Fun is frowned upon!
We have to have very good reasons to stay in Canada. And as an Aussie, I do! Its for the things that doesn't exist downunder, like the scale of the film and tech industries. And for most of the world, its still worth it because all the problems you mentioned. In India, Phillipines or Nigeria for example, its so much worst, its actually a refreshing change to be here living in a country with fresh air, people minding their own business, given the opportunity to work hard, and feel appreciated for the contribution. Without the toxic cultural baggage and people watching your back. And it is so much safer here than the rest of the world, especially against climate change! People must be willing to adapt and compromise or rightfully so for those who immigrated here. Different mindset than those who are born here. I always encourage people to leave and explore the world. But honestly, I think you're describing problems in Vancouver! Toronto and Montreal is vastly more dynamic. The communities are engaging and very vibrant. In here, people are less about polite but rather genuinely want to help you! And the weather has more sunshines even in winter! And there's soooooo much to do and there's a lot to see and experience. All the people who moved here from Vancouver said the same thing as you. And truly parts of Canada sucks, but not all suck. Despite all its problems, I know I can always go back to somewhere decent. And for majority of the world, Canada is still so much better than where they're from!🎉
Even entire Provinces talk about leaving Canada. There is Quebec; and Saskatchewan and Alberta also have secessionist parties. So it seems more than just isolated individuals wanting to bail!
Yeah I love living in the UAE the health care is fantastic!! I got surgery back in February the surgery and the hospital stay was all covered by my health insurance about 1, 500 USD per year it covers nearly everything! There are a few things it won't cover like dental. In the US even when I had insurance it hardly covered anything and most times I had to pay for everything out of pocket and forget getting surgery they definetly wouldn't cover it! And seeing a doctor un the US takes weeks just like Canada. The UAE is the same day.
The grass is always greener over the other man’s septic tank. The economic problem is worldwide - caused by economic systems which cater to the very rich, Canada is no exception. However Canadians enjoy better social services. Canada is not for everyone, I hope you find your home. But I am not bailing out on Canada.
Most people are resentful because they cannot afford a lifestyle in Canada. I'm afraid I have to disagree, Canada is a great country, there is so much to do. I've been living in Canada for 20 years, I am so grateful. I am curious to know, where did you end up moving? Describe the wonderful country you moved to where everything is affordable, you have a great lifestyle, and there are many things to do.

@@TLK22 It is my understanding that as a Canadian Citizen you are required to submit a tax form each year. If you are taxed on that revenue depends on many factors. But if you renounce your Canadian citizenship, Then you are not taxed and since you belive Canada is such a bad place........why would you want to remain a citizen?
@@GreatCanadian0844 I don't have any revenu in Canada, any bank account, driving license, assets, etc. I wasn't a tax resident for a decade. I never said Canada is such a bad place and I enjoyed most of my time there and most of my friends and some of my family still live there. If I currently give up my Canadian citizenship I would be stateless so my demand would be denied but if I have options to get another one if one day they plan on taxing Canadian that lives abroad.
Sorry to hear! It is bad around the world right now, but we've had problems since before the virus Canada. Now, these problems have been magnified. I hope it gets better.
In my case it's permanent unfortunately. It comes with a slight hearing loss (you see me doing the hearing test in the video). I've accepted it. Most times I don't hear it because my brain tunes it out. But when I was anxious about it, it was the only thing I could hear. Having all of this said, of course check with a doctor. Sometimes the causes are easily fixable, for example if you have an ear wax build up.
@@NasAlive1 Thanks for the reply. Sorry about that! Have to wonder if you had _not_ had to wait so long in Canada to get treatment that the tinnitus could have been reduced or eliminated... EDIT: I heard the that *if* the tinnitus is hearing loss related, the brain is kind of suffering the same thing as the "phantom limb syndrome" where a lost limb still feels "real" to the brain. However, in the case of hearing loss, the brain is confused as to the missing frequencies and is making it appear "real" when they're no longer there or reduced. So a hearing aid that magnifies that lost spectrum could be used to re-train the brain to not be confused about the missing spectrum so much. Good luck getting such a hearing in Canada I guess. See actor William Shatner how used such a device to cure his tinnitus.
@@NasAlive1same here. Lost 70% of my hearing in my right ear and with it came tinnitus. Happened in 2008. It was a virus that attached the nerve my ear.
@@NasAlive1 Also, back when the hearing loss was happening I sat in the emergency room for 7 hrs just to see someone. I HAVE NEVER been in so much pain. I had two of my children at home, both 10 pounds, with no medication, all natural. The hearing loss pain, I will always remember. 7 bloody hrs. F’ Canada.
Some valid points for sure. It is confusingly expensive here and the health care system is slow. No question. Its also a safe, friendly and free country with a good amount of opportunity. I think it was better 20 years ago. It has fallen. It can be improved though. The weather...I like the weather in Vancouver, but I get its not for everyone. I struggle with, if I were to leave, where would I go? This is home. All my family and most of my old friends are here. Anywhere you go there are advantages and disadvantages. Dubai, sure nice medical clinics, but there are brutal human rights violations there and its a raging hot desert. The USA has a lot to offer, but it's not perfect either. Europe is cool, but it's crammed with people and the major cities are expensive. Plus there is a language barrier. Ive looked at Latin America. Great weather and its cheap, but its only cheap because Im coming from Canada. It's not cheap for the majority of poor locals. Same with Portugal/Spain. Plus the corruption and crime... Overall, while there are valid criticisms for Canada, it is still a great place to live. I think we can work on some of the problems, but hey, we can't solve winter. Woke culture won't last forever. There is already considerable pushback from a good amount of level headed Canadians. Want to leave Canada? Sure. Go for it. I occasionally consider it too. But I'd leave to go be alone in some foreign place with, for the most part, less opportunity for the next generation (there are exceptions here). Peace!
seems that you live way over your means--about debt, don't spend twice your salary & you'll be fine. Go see elsewhere, but you'll also find bad sides, some even worse. About the sunshine, it's winter reality here. After 50 winters, I don't mind anymore. If you don't like cold & winter sports, better stay locked inside, but it's even worse.
Canadians aren't friendly... they're polite, big difference.
Quebckers are friendly ... we are a unique nation in Canada .... i agree with you , Toronto, Vancouver , Calgary dont have any canadian values and culture , it is now asians from China and India ....
Boom!
Not all friendly!
So true! Polite vs friendly is a HUGE difference
Yes like the British
My wife and I left Canada also. Living in Turkey now. Worked hard all my life, never been able to build a sustainable retirement. The system is rigged if you don't have a unionized or government job.
There are thousands of us who just quietly left because we simply had enough.❤️
@@timphiey Or would you say: we DIDN'T have enough
@@zblip22 we did have enough. We had enough cold. We had enough stress. We had enough awakening that it was not the life we want.🥰
How is that working for you guys? I have been planning on moving there as well. Canada is so boring this is why I am here watching these videos and reading these comments and realized i am not alone
@@syrs727 apart from not being to speak Turkish, it is great
We left after 15 years. It's unlivable. Boring and depressing extreme cold winters.
I want to move to America any tips?
@@tkdamusicman move to Asia and teach English in Thailand, Cambodia or Vietnam. Start an online business. A lot of expats miss products back home. A lot of branded clothing factories in Vietnam and Cambodia and you can buy them for cheap sell them for profit online.
@@tkdamusicman don't. America is being destroyed like Canada. Move to Asia. The shift of wealth and power is now in Asia.
And the summers aren't better either. I like winter, but they really have not much going on and everything that is fun, is always very expensive.
@@TeaCup1940 what you said are facts.
I was fortunate enough to leave Canada to Greener pastures to the USA. I first immigrated to Canada with a professional degree but the job wasn't paying as much due to the high cost of living. I still couldn't make ends meet. I was able to get a job in the State that pays me very well. Everything seems to be so much cheaper in the states. To anybody who could get out of Canada, do it.
Showing this to my friends overseas whenever they say I'm having such a great life here in Canada.
Me too, and for 81 years. I've also been everywhere in Canada, the USA, and most of Europe. in sum,, I can't imagine living anywhere other than Montreal.
I also left Canada after having lived there for almost 9 years for similar reasons. I knew deep down that I had to hear you and watch this video. That’s spot on and quite a divine message. This resonates with me a great deal. You deserve better since you can do better and so do we.
Where you moved?

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.
I left after 40 years and boy do I have piece of mind
Where did you go?
I feel the same way. It feels like people here just exist to grind…
Unfortunately so..
Exactly... and u don't mind if there was some life aside from that....
Yes I thought I was the only One who think that
This is spot on! For many years, I could not pinpoint the exact reason why I didn't have a strong sense of community in Canada, it's because we have too many boundaries that made us become distant to each other...
It's unfortunate.

I’m Ukrainian Canadian also left Canada for south east Asia for same reasons. 5000$ wasn’t enough for me to live a normal life there so now my cost of living is half of that and I live 10 minutes from a white sand beach and travel with plenty moneys still left in savings.
Where did you go? Going to VN in 6 months.
@@RobbieOaks Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia , honk Kong and now Philippines where I stay.
Enjoy your travels man.
So you are living in Thailand with money made in Canada. Genius.
I feel you, I was actually born in Europe. Moved to Canada, I’m starting to think this country isn’t for me. It’s super cold and nothing happens in the city I’m in. It’s horrible 😢 and boring. I’ve lived across Europe and I just want to leave. I thought Canada was “THAT” country. It’s so expensive here🥲.
Europe is the place to be. What's the point of life if you spend 40-50 hours of your life working each week barely being able to afford bills. To only get an allowance of 2-3 weeks vacation every year? If you can even afford to take a vacation.
Meanwhile, other countries have a minimum of 1 month vacation with many sectors allowing you to build up more vacation time. A good example of that is Australia. My Wife's cousin lives in Australia working as a Nurse and she get's 2 months paid vacation every year. That's far better than the joke of a vacation we get in Canada.
Never mind. For one that leaves there are 50 in line waiting to immigrate to Canada. In a globalized world you can live where you feel more comfortable. Some Canadians and immigrants move because they can not stand those looong winters. Some move because they think Canada is too liberal. But at the end of the day , you must adapt to Canada. Canada, its weather and polices will NOT adapt to you.
I get it, I was born & raised here, and I've seen many people come & go--most of them were not well prepared from the start. Some even not knowing anything at all.
@@europeanlegend9347all good point but the Third World War is raging in Europe and Australia 🇦🇺 was extremely bad with the lockdown and shutting people with rubber bullets during a peaceful manifestation 😅
I have concerns with so many European countries regarding the mass, especially unvetted migration though, and people like Humza McYousaf complaining that there are too many white people in positions of power in Scotland (imagine that - there are Scottish people in Scotland).
100%, I’m born and raised here, grew up in Ontario, moved to Quebec, to Alberta and now BC, i just know in my heart I’m not meant to live here, I travel to Thailand every year just to escape the dullness in CA, but I want to live and work elsewhere in the world…
You lived in Toronto, right?
As someone else said, Canada is no longer a country. It is an economic zone. You know what happens to economic zones when the economy goes down? They close down.
I usually wouldn't waste my time when I see headlines like these and with so less number of subscribers. Algorithm decided to show this in my feed and to my surprise this is so well articulated. Kudos to you for making this video.
Loneliness in Canada is terrifying!
I volunteer at a Retirement Home! Some residents pray daily at the chappel for death. Only a few are visited by their family members; even during the Christmas season. Winter and gray skies for six months of the year is lethal.
My Canadian born children live in California. Glad they emigrated to the U.S.
Exactly it's same situation in many places of USA especially where it borders close to Canada
North Dakota a case in point.
am not sure California is any better than communist Canada, Texas, Florida i can understand but Cali ??

I came to Montreal in 2008 as an expat, 4 years later got my permanent residency and later my citizenship. I cannot agree more with everything you say. And it's getting worse and worse each year. And to add to the subject of the distance between people, if it's bad for a young person who was born (or at least raised) in Canada, imagine coming here over 30 yo, married and with 2 kids.
Thanks I now have a good picture of realities in Canada I'm thinking of migrating to eu or elsewhere
well, Montreal is the best city with a soul and life in Canada . I dont know where you are from but if you are not happy in Montreal , you will not be happy anywhere in the world .
@@user-iw4jl6bc8hI'm From Rio de Janeiro, so I know what a city with soul and life is. I'm pretty sure you are well served of booze and sex in MTL. But it won't go beyond that.
But my point was related to Canada's issues in general. The violence and cost of living have exploded in the last 6 years. It's still far from what I faced in Brazil, but it's catching up fast
@@pczYT I agree with you 110%.
Expat or immigrant?
When I see this video and others, I realized that there are many people of different backgrounds, some Christians, some Muslims, some East Europeans who grew up in Communism... people who chose to live in Canada, people who were thriving at some point... and then, in last 2-3 years, something happened that crossed the line from their point of view... something that was beyond their principles, belief and moral values to accept for themselves or for the future of their children... and so, many people are thinking to leave or already left the country.
I consider that an important factor is also the fact that none of us, immigrants, were inspired to feel patriotic about Canada. That is why, coming or leaving, are easy options, with no strong feelings keeping people tied. From the very beginning it was a surprise for me, coming from Romania where I was raised to love my country, to work for the good and prosperity of my country, like an ideal that always gave motivation and inspiration.
In 2002-2003 I was eager to see how Canada Day is celebrated, but nobody did anything, other than staying home. However, on the weekend of Canada Day, they all celebrated the diversity of sex. Canada Day assimilated pride day. There was no celebration and no events about loving Canada, but all about loving sex in all forms and with anyone...
I went to see out of curiosity the so-called "pride parade".
I saw balloons and candies in penis shapes, tens of men completely naked in the middle of the main downtown street, prostitution, simulation of sexual perversions in the parade, other harlotry and inappropriate behavior for the eyes of a child, took place on the street.. For me it seemed disgusting, like moving the bedroom affairs in the street, and being forced to watch porno movies (bad type, with ugly naked men) in the street.
After having kids, I tried to always spend that Canada Day weekend out of the city, to not expose my kids to that view. Many times I took trips in US on that weekend and it was close to America Day, Independence Day, where I admired how patriotic everybody celebrated in America.
It is true that in school the kids are singing "Oh, Canada" every morning, and they learn to love Canada. However, adult immigrants, people with families, or straight, don't find a strong motivation to have a nationalist feeling about Canada, which is not even properly celebrated, so there are not enough feelings developing in order to stay in good times and bad times, like the difference between a marriage for love or a marriage for interest.
Your comment is so underrated!
Beautifully observed.
We left Canada a few months ago. We miss Toronto sometimes but your video is a reminder of why we left. Everything you said here is so true. So glad we left and are happy now living in Dubai ❤
You are not alone. There's thousands of us.❤️
I think it is getting too expensive. I have lived here all my life and boredom has never been an issue. Grew up poor and retired wealthy, so it was a land of opportunity for me. Hard to start out here now I think.
Laughed so hard when you reminded me how every things shut at 9 pm. I had forgotten. Great video.
Montreal is the best city all services are available 24 hr . You can dnace all night il 8 am . Pharmacies are opened 24 h, some restaurants are opened 24 hr .... you are ignorant .... ENglish CAnada is boring and no soul ( Toronto, Vancouver)
That's Toronto!!
I am Canadian. I have lived in China for more than 12 years. When I visit Canada, I can't believe how anyone tolerates living there. Not just expensive, but everyone I know has a simple cycle of sleep, work, eat, watch TV and sleep- REPEAT. WHY live like that? I have a much better life where I go out and meet with friends, eat good food and pretty much live life you feel. Not forced to survive and just exist. Canada has lost its way and the sheople have let it happen. OH yeah- Franchised by the ruling elite- YES!
Damn it, you just described my life!
It really does feel like that
One major aspect lacking in Canada is a soul. Having relocated from Canada to the USA 23 years ago, I've observed that, regardless of any criticisms one may have about Americans, they undeniably possess distinctive personalities. Though they might be boisterous, assertive, and sometimes overbearing, they exhibit strong opinions and a fervent spirit. THEYRE ALIVE! Each return to Canada I notice the only thing they are passionate about is their disdain for Trump and the fact that they are not Americans (God forbid). They blindly support woke politics, which I find quite off-putting. Canada is over!
Exactly. I find most Canadians dead inside.
Other than the rampant racism, the poverty wages and the overlord boss syndrome, the over-the-top health care expense, political batshit craziness, add that most of the world can't stand Americans, well ya, America is just swell. If Canada is garbage, the USA is the entire dump.
Most Canadians are the walking dead. I’ve been to Florida and South Carolina on long trips and meet some of the nicest people. Invited me golfing and hang out. Canada is cold and so are the people. Nobody cares about you here. I want to move to Florida but I don’t know how and for what job. Plus I’m only 10 years from retirement and pension so I need to stay. It sucks though
This is absolutely the worst thing about this country because all of our issues stem from this and are made worse by this.
Until Canadians shake off this woke malaise, they will forever be held captive by a boring soul-sucking ideology.
There is something for everyone. Canada is not for you and you clearly made the right choice. Staying and being upset would not have made this a better place, so it is also good you opened space for proud, happy and alive Canadians.
I gave you a thumbs up just for pointing out that health care in Canada is not free. I don't know why so many people continue to think health care is free, as you point out, we pay a lot of taxes to pay for health care.

I agree on this : the seniors have all the money which is not fair. I am a senior with plenty of money.
RS. Canada
Small businesses are painted as "dangerous" by government and media. The public buys into it and supports the regulations that are unaffordable for small businesses. The most recent example was BC where a fraudulent claim that milk was tainted was amplified by the press. This resulted in new regulations causing further consolidation of dairy into a few large entities.
Canada is mostly a one-sided left-wing country. left-wing politicians tend to cater more to big corporations than right-wing politicians believe it or not. Let me explain... left-wing politicians tend to implement more regulations that are unfriendly to business owners. The only businesses that can manage the burden of regulations and red tape are big corporations. They are also the only kinds of businesses that can afford a lawsuit. The corporations pass the cost of compliance onto the consumers, so when they hire compliance teams, they put the cost of that into the products. Large corporations don't mind the regulations all that much because it keeps new more innovative businesses from springing up and taking market share, they'll even lobby politicians for more regulations. They donate to political campaigns and in turn, politicians pass regulations or do things that benefit the corporations.
You're absolutely correct. Big government requires big business to sustain it. It's a similar situation here in the USA.
There is no right wing here. Conservatives = Liberals
In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become the North Korea of the western world.
Their are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions and the various other benefits, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Well Canada, you had a good run. Time for Canucks to move to an emerging country. We welcome you here in Southeast Asia.
Dude I’m sorry that happened to you! I try to tell my siblings about stories like that and they roll their eyes and think I’m a conspiracy theorist. It’s not a conspiracy when it’s true people! One thing I wanted to add is people don’t talk about enough is multiculturalism = cheap labor. That’s why they want people to immigrate to their frozen country. A lot of times the janitor cleaning the floors in canada is a doctor In his own country! It’s insane.
@@LastingLegacyLA Yup, I have been facing a backlash since 2004. So I know. People just want to live in denial in Canada, also they are very arrogant and conceited and don't ever want to consider other countries because in their mind Canada is the best country in the world. Whatever!
That's is the most wisest comment I ever read how articulate
I think you should not have left Philippines in the first place. You could not adjust in Canada, so left for USA. Then could not adjust in USA. So back to the home base.
spot on!
I feel that they refuse to create public spaces for people to hang out. You just need some benches put together in a circle in a park and maybe some landmark or fountain in the middle to look at, but no. They would only want you to walk or bike in the park, maybe have a piknik with family, but that's about it. In European parks, they have something for everyone in public parks. Playgrounds for kids, places to have coffee for the parents, basketball courts for teens, chess tables for the seniors, chairs surrounding some statue or fauntain for people to chat and so on all nearby each other, so people of all kinds intermingle. We all love the European old streets with places where people actually want to be. Why can't we have that here? Why is it just in private settings like Wonderland or the mall that we are allowed to have fun? Is it the protestant heritage that dictates you to only mend your garden and have no life outside of work and family?
Those are all great ideas! Yes, I think if they made it easier for people/merchants to set up shop. We would have more culture! There are so many red tapes around setting up shop that we always end up with a corporate starbucks or tim hortons lol
Exactly what IVe been thinking
They do this because they don’t want people congregating, sharing similar thoughts and figuring out their govt is not for them. They know if people spend more time Together they’ll start figuring things out. They’re intentionally trying to keep you miserable and isolated.
Yes. They do not want people to get together, share ideas and complaints an vote the government out. They want people divided, lonely and easily controllable. The govt is VERY AFRAID of united people.

Keep making videos on this subject it's very interesting and wildly popular with views. Plus there are many people that feel the same way but they hide those feelings and keep it to themselves or afraid to bring this subject under light. My friend left Canada recently too, said and told similar things and even more.
I shared this video to tell my story. I wonder if I should make more. My niche is in the personal growth and development space and I'm worried that it will shift focus away from that.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

Oh, it's not just you. Unfortunately, a lot of people in Canada and abroad get brainwashed by the marketing. Lovely nature and resources, vast land, after that....................... 🤐
Yeah, it's so true, For us Canadians, it's all about biking and taking walks 😅
In Canada the rent is too damn high and the wages are too damn low. The medical system here is completely screwed. The government has brought in millions of immigrants since Justine Dildeau became prime minister. In that same time the baby boomers have reached the age, (70+) where they need a lot of medical care. In this time they haven't built hospitals for this increased need. There weren't enough hospitals 10 years ago.
You can't find a family doctor. Many doctors are retiring and just closing their practices. You have to go to the emergency room at the hospital and wait times can be 16 hours or more.
Kids are pushed to go to University and take on tons of debt and in most cases the "education" they get is worthless and they end up with a job they could have gotten out of highschool with no debt.
For anyone thinking of moving to Canada consider this; our economy is about to crash real bad. I can think of better places to be than here when times get really tough.
Im canadian and left a decade ago to some small island in Thailand. I love Canada but really enjoy my current life.
Good luck. Canada is great for me, no issues
I live in British Columbia and make $60,000 a year and my income tax is $15,566.18. I also had a ringing in my ear. I saw 4 GP's 2 specialist before I found a doctor who knew what it was. I also saw an ear, nose throat doctor and an allergy specialist. It took about 2 years to figure out I had BPPV and allergies. I'm also completely fed up with Canada and I just got my permanent resident visa for Mexico. The problem is, it's not cheap in Mexico anymore either. Although, rent is about half the price and I don't have to live in a frozen wasteland for half the year.
Im in south korea for vaca and not even in a tier 1 city and its busy everyday. People were out on a monday night.. its wednesday and not even 5 pm and the mall is full... Lots of ppl in the subway.

your gripes are legit. canadians aren't as loud and the sun doesn't shine enough. i did live abroad for some years, and returned realizing canada is a great place. sunshine just isn't enough. but it also depends on what part of your life you are in. young and mobile - go travel. see the world. wanting to raise a family and need to know there is good education, healthcare, and safety, canada will look a lot better. good luck with your travels.
I immigrated to Canada from Poland 34 years ago. I was 20 full of life and optimism. Every year I said to myself… next year going to be better. I agree with everything said above except….
Canada and US is only place where you can have good life by working on construction jobs. It is very difficult to get your own company but if you get a break and make it then it’s great.
But not everyone is lucky. Working for somebody you will never get anywhere ( unless you get some Ceo job).
Healthcare is the big issue (joke) in Canada!! It takes you forever to see a specialist!!!!! This is the main reason makes me seriously concerned about moving to another country. I’m planning on it now
Returned to home country after obtained the passport 25 years ago .Proud to make the right decision when looking back😊
Very true. I'm leaving Canada come January.
Excellent video. Left Canada Mexico, then Thailand
Since Covid, I want out. 🇨🇦 ✈️
Lived there for 6 months last year. Came back home to the Philippines back in January. I like Canada, it's a place that works, but I don't think I'll be staying there for that long ever again. It's chill in the summer, not much to do but at least you can go out and get some sun but when winter time comes it's dull and depressing AF!
Where did you move, Dubai? Dubai or Cyprus seem like good options to me, I know I'm leaving Canada at one point in my life that's for sure. There were also some issues that arose during the pandemic, but I'll be banned by youtube if I speak about it.
But for sure, if people aren't allowed to think differently or do different things, is Canada really diverse? It lacks neurodiversity big time.
I think you should look up what "neurodiversity" means lol
great video! refreshing points!
Canada is not a bad country. You can make alot of money. So its a case if you want to make money or have fun?
He says he left Canada in the description, yet says he is still there, can’t believe what he says now
I do wonder what the breaking point is for Canada with the price of food, cell phone bills and weird mortgages that have to be renewed. I was just in Canada last week ( in Delta) and loved it. I don't think your life is that boring. I do agree that you can be individualistic but also private. I saw an old woman with a walker and a bag of groceries walking as slow as a turtle, bent over. No one helped her. If you hate crowds and love being outdoors, Canada is great. I know you say that the country is geared told older people but I saw many older people who seemed to be in financially dire straits. I do feel at home in Canada, much more so than the US. I do think the Canadian government is not doing enough to solve the immediate issues of sky high food prices, renewing rents and healthcare issues.
Canada dry 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol😅
You just about described how it is here in the USA. We got the same kinda crap going on. fortunately tho I get lots of sun in Tucson!
Sorry but as bad as the US may be at the moment, we are no where as bad as Canada. You may have more of it in liberal states such as ComiCal, Oregon, Washington, New York City, Chicago but in your red states especially life is pretty good. Everything everywhere is getting more expensive, wokeism is again much worse in yiur blue states. My family lives a very good life in the south eastern US on a single modest income. No I'm so thankful for this country. Could it get worse, oh of course, but even as bad as Biden is, we still aren't ehat Canada or the UK is.
I'd love to leave, but I can't. It's a depressing place.

Well spoken.
Canada is a very, very boring country. I totally agree with all of this. I’ve lived in all the major cities in canada. Alberta is especially boring with the same franchise stores and strip malls everywhere but outside of the core parts of other major cities, the situation is the same.
One thing that is frustrating is that any sort of “fun” is generally some sort of outdoor sport (skiing, hiking, snowshoeing etc) which are boring activities that I don’t enjoy.
Vancouver and Montreal are the best of the big cities. There is at least more of a cafe culture and more mom and pop shops but they are also super woke (especially Montreal.)
My dream is to move to the US!
$1,200. a month without rent for one person?? You mean he is a homeless without a regular job?!
Canada is fking boring with garbage weather
A lot of the lifestyle complaints you have are not unique to Canada. They're much the same throughout the western world. It's a consequence of our advanced stage of development and our history. For example most western countries have an aging population because most of them had massive population growth in the 50s and 60s.
We lack culture. To me Canada feels soulless and this has nothing to do with our ageing population. Large corporations dominate various industries making it difficult for individuals and families to compete. Tight zoning laws and regulations are also to blame. The large corporations influences the career opportunities available to us Canadians. The result is we all have homogenized lives, depriving us of diversity and culture. That is prominent Canadian problem. How many mom and pop shops do we have when compared to Europe, Mexico or even the US?
Some stats: "Canada is the second largest franchise industry by number of outlets, with over 76,000 franchised outlets in operation. It is also the second largest franchise industry by economic output, generating over $170 billion in sales annually." This is WILD considering our small population when compared to other countries around the world. We truly lead cookie cutter lives.

All valid points! Luckily for me, I love the outdoors especially in Winter . And that makes up for a lot. It seems the infrastructure hasn't changed much since the 70's and the social aspects of life in Canada used to be a lot better here, for sure! Since the Politically Correct BS started in the 90]s it has gone down hill dramatically. Fun is frowned upon!
lol
4 of my freinds already left. Same thing in Montreal.
We have to have very good reasons to stay in Canada. And as an Aussie, I do! Its for the things that doesn't exist downunder, like the scale of the film and tech industries. And for most of the world, its still worth it because all the problems you mentioned. In India, Phillipines or Nigeria for example, its so much worst, its actually a refreshing change to be here living in a country with fresh air, people minding their own business, given the opportunity to work hard, and feel appreciated for the contribution. Without the toxic cultural baggage and people watching your back. And it is so much safer here than the rest of the world, especially against climate change!
People must be willing to adapt and compromise or rightfully so for those who immigrated here. Different mindset than those who are born here. I always encourage people to leave and explore the world.
But honestly, I think you're describing problems in Vancouver! Toronto and Montreal is vastly more dynamic. The communities are engaging and very vibrant. In here, people are less about polite but rather genuinely want to help you! And the weather has more sunshines even in winter! And there's soooooo much to do and there's a lot to see and experience. All the people who moved here from Vancouver said the same thing as you. And truly parts of Canada sucks, but not all suck. Despite all its problems, I know I can always go back to somewhere decent. And for majority of the world, Canada is still so much better than where they're from!🎉
Same bro
You're almost there!
You didn’t even talked about taxes 🇨🇦💲🇨🇦💲🇨🇦💲🇨🇦💲🇨🇦💲🇨🇦💲🇨🇦💲🇨🇦
Vive le Quebec Libre ! On comprend que Quebec veuille quitter le Canada. Enfin !
Even entire Provinces talk about leaving Canada. There is Quebec; and Saskatchewan and Alberta also have secessionist parties. So it seems more than just isolated individuals wanting to bail!
Yeah I love living in the UAE the health care is fantastic!! I got surgery back in February the surgery and the hospital stay was all covered by my health insurance about 1, 500 USD per year it covers nearly everything! There are a few things it won't cover like dental. In the US even when I had insurance it hardly covered anything and most times I had to pay for everything out of pocket and forget getting surgery they definetly wouldn't cover it! And seeing a doctor un the US takes weeks just like Canada. The UAE is the same day.
See ya, don't let the door hit you on your way out.
Facts Canada sucks I lived here for 36 years
I wonder how students are paying back their student loans.
Me and some friend are leaving for retirement for sure
so where are you now? or just put that in title
Just for u😊
Agreed 💯
A bunch of taxes and everything is a RIP off
🇨🇦 It’s boring because it’s still North America 🌎
The grass is always greener over the other man’s septic tank. The economic problem is worldwide - caused by economic systems which cater to the very rich, Canada is no exception. However Canadians enjoy better social services. Canada is not for everyone, I hope you find your home. But I am not bailing out on Canada.
If I didn’t have a family here, I’d move to Mexico or Finland.
Most people are resentful because they cannot afford a lifestyle in Canada. I'm afraid I have to disagree, Canada is a great country, there is so much to do. I've been living in Canada for 20 years, I am so grateful. I am curious to know, where did you end up moving? Describe the wonderful country you moved to where everything is affordable, you have a great lifestyle, and there are many things to do.
I stayed in Basnko, Bulgaria and now I am in Dubai. Coincidentally the Global News just ran a piece on the town I was in yesterday: globalnews.ca/news/10104237/digital-nomad-village-bansko-bulgaria/
Thank you@@NasAlive1
Did you turn in your CANADIAN citizenship, better known as the "RESCUE ME, I'M CANADIAN" card.
Only if you are in Gaza. ;) and even then countries like Egypt are telling Canadians to f-off.
Everyone else has to call their local embassy, which works from 12:30pm to 1pm. Speaking from experience.
@@goran797 You have yet to answer the question "Did you or will you turn in your Canadian citizenship?.
@@GreatCanadian0844I will if they ever tax me while I'm outside Canada like they mentioned in the parlement a few years ago.
@@TLK22 It is my understanding that as a Canadian Citizen you are required to submit a tax form each year. If you are taxed on that revenue depends on many factors. But if you renounce your Canadian citizenship, Then you are not taxed and since you belive Canada is such a bad place........why would you want to remain a citizen?
@@GreatCanadian0844 I don't have any revenu in Canada, any bank account, driving license, assets, etc. I wasn't a tax resident for a decade. I never said Canada is such a bad place and I enjoyed most of my time there and most of my friends and some of my family still live there. If I currently give up my Canadian citizenship I would be stateless so my demand would be denied but if I have options to get another one if one day they plan on taxing Canadian that lives abroad.
*you're jammin about the weather in BC. Come to Ontario. Much worse in the winter months lol.*
Great video! I was feeling sad and youtube creepy algorithm knew what was up. Yo Nas I feel you 💯 U.S.A. The SAME if not worse
Sorry to hear! It is bad around the world right now, but we've had problems since before the virus Canada. Now, these problems have been magnified. I hope it gets better.
It’s just you 😏
Exactly why a vacation is exciting, why a sunny day is lovely (not 60 sunny days) 🤭
It’s boring because it’s still North America 🌎
4:42 - I'm *desperate* to find out how you solved your Tinnitus ringing in your left ear! I got it in my right at the moment. 😖
In my case it's permanent unfortunately. It comes with a slight hearing loss (you see me doing the hearing test in the video). I've accepted it. Most times I don't hear it because my brain tunes it out. But when I was anxious about it, it was the only thing I could hear. Having all of this said, of course check with a doctor. Sometimes the causes are easily fixable, for example if you have an ear wax build up.
@@NasAlive1 Thanks for the reply. Sorry about that! Have to wonder if you had _not_ had to wait so long in Canada to get treatment that the tinnitus could have been reduced or eliminated...
EDIT: I heard the that *if* the tinnitus is hearing loss related, the brain is kind of suffering the same thing as the "phantom limb syndrome" where a lost limb still feels "real" to the brain. However, in the case of hearing loss, the brain is confused as to the missing frequencies and is making it appear "real" when they're no longer there or reduced. So a hearing aid that magnifies that lost spectrum could be used to re-train the brain to not be confused about the missing spectrum so much. Good luck getting such a hearing in Canada I guess.
See actor William Shatner how used such a device to cure his tinnitus.
I'll check that out, thank you! @@ja8570
@@NasAlive1same here. Lost 70% of my hearing in my right ear and with it came tinnitus. Happened in 2008. It was a virus that attached the nerve my ear.
@@NasAlive1 Also, back when the hearing loss was happening I sat in the emergency room for 7 hrs just to see someone. I HAVE NEVER been in so much pain. I had two of my children at home, both 10 pounds, with no medication, all natural.
The hearing loss pain, I will always remember. 7 bloody hrs.
F’ Canada.
Some valid points for sure. It is confusingly expensive here and the health care system is slow. No question. Its also a safe, friendly and free country with a good amount of opportunity. I think it was better 20 years ago. It has fallen. It can be improved though.
The weather...I like the weather in Vancouver, but I get its not for everyone.
I struggle with, if I were to leave, where would I go? This is home. All my family and most of my old friends are here. Anywhere you go there are advantages and disadvantages. Dubai, sure nice medical clinics, but there are brutal human rights violations there and its a raging hot desert. The USA has a lot to offer, but it's not perfect either. Europe is cool, but it's crammed with people and the major cities are expensive. Plus there is a language barrier.
Ive looked at Latin America. Great weather and its cheap, but its only cheap because Im coming from Canada. It's not cheap for the majority of poor locals. Same with Portugal/Spain. Plus the corruption and crime...
Overall, while there are valid criticisms for Canada, it is still a great place to live. I think we can work on some of the problems, but hey, we can't solve winter.
Woke culture won't last forever. There is already considerable pushback from a good amount of level headed Canadians.
Want to leave Canada? Sure. Go for it. I occasionally consider it too. But I'd leave to go be alone in some foreign place with, for the most part, less opportunity for the next generation (there are exceptions here).
Peace!
seems that you live way over your means--about debt, don't spend twice your salary & you'll be fine. Go see elsewhere, but you'll also find bad sides, some even worse. About the sunshine, it's winter reality here. After 50 winters, I don't mind anymore. If you don't like cold & winter sports, better stay locked inside, but it's even worse.
