Life in Canada is paying business class prices to live an economy class lifestyle!
One of the only things stopping me is the fact that often you can’t find well-paying jobs in areas where housing prices are low.
I'm a remote worker (moreover an industry that's naturally setup for remote work... software engineering) and it's still not a clear decision.
Our health care system is so much worse than many countries in Central and South America, and Europe.
I’m going to be 48 this year and my husband and I have never been able to afford a house in Canada. It’s become unaffordable and unliveable. We are already looking at moving.
Canada is ranked 32nd and USA is ranked 69th for health care Italy is 17th and just for reference Israel is 6th
What is she talking about that the health care system doesn’t get better than Canada? That’s just not true. It’s in shambles and there are so many places that offer affordable or free healthcare that is high quality. In Canada people are dying while waiting for care.
It seems like something that she had to say. Propaganda being pushed.
@@lauraleonard2819 makes sense because the only other explanation is that she’s really stunned.
Greed and the underlying tone that the Canadian middle class/working class will always be able to absorb another hit is what has ruined our country.
No not leaving, I will fight for the future of Canada 🇨🇦.
Housing costs were going up before Trudeau was in office. The trend just continued when he came into office.. as it will when Pollievre becomes prime minister.. the question is who will we blame for all of our problems then?
Housing cost were increasing yes and even understandable in small percentagages but doubled in 5yrs? That's insane!
Much needed segment. Female guest was on-point!
yeah but it is the same everywhere...and TO and VAN have been problematic since the 80s
Leaving July 3, and looking forward to it.
its same every where.. you can run but can't hide from this mess.
Canada has its challenges and I think alot of the problems come from our governance. We think that the federal government is responsible for our well being but the reality it is the provincial governments that have the most impact on our lives. Healthcare and housing are primarily the responsibility of the provincial governments. Those are two of the major problems.
Engage actively with the correct level of governments to bring about change that will improve our lives.
.
Look at the migration of families from Ontario to Alberta….. it’s not the dream province anymore
I get it that some leave BC very expensive to live in this province but there are surely issues no matter where you live in the world
Not very expensive whatosever compared to usa and europe, i guess they can move to thailand or the phillipenes.
I would move away from the main city in Canada to smaller towns - the main cities are so expensive and crowded. Fed up of being in Traffic every time I leave my house. The only reason I stay at the moment is to help my parents who are seniors.
Same reason I'm staying in a main Canadian city, because I'm helping my senior parents. When they pass on I'm going to move somewhere else smaller and more affordable
I live in a small community.. its not any easier. There is a severe shortage of doctors here....many neighbours of mine simply don't have one. And we also have no walk in clinics anymore either... so the er is backed up on a good day. So while you may or may not be stuck in traffic... you also won't have a doctor when you need it.
Only Toronto is expensive and crowded..vancounver is just expensive..calgary too...if you think those two last cities are busy then wow you better not leave canada lol.. our ciites are tiny compared to around the world except Toronto.
@@TheCandyShopGirl that is the same in Montreal and we are a city. I only have a family doctor cause my brother begged his doctor and played the my sister is a Cancer Survivor and she needs a family doctor. Even with that just trying to get an appointment with her is like banging your head against a wall. Our walk in clinics are now by appointment. We also have a lack of doctors. There are pros and cons in both city and rural life.
@@stoneneils no one is saying that we only have crowded cities in Canada we are just saying that we are ready for a little more of a peaceful life. There are plenty of places in Canada that don't have to be major cities.
You ladies rock❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉In 2024 to have a home and a hot meal is a struggle for so many , and if you have this,you're blessed❤
It isn’t just the financials, it is also the traditional family values that no longer exist in the west.
Cynthia's mishaps with her words always crack me up, very entertaining, haha.
Kate the female guest host is absolutely spot on!
My biggest mistake was returning with my husband to Canada and left nursing in the States. Was in England for Christmas and it was AFFORDABLE. Life here is unaffordable, stressful and hard.
Im Canadian and i ain't leaving.
It is all about lifestyle and the front load comment is spot on. In Canada we are living to work. By the time we get to enjoy the fruits of our labour we may not be able to. I would definitely move abroad.
No. I worked every day of my life, After work..before work.. all night every night..evrey weekend...all vacations..i enjoyed the fruits of my labor extensively..to say the least. Stop your whining or find a better job. Nobody needs to work to live in Canada unless you've got six kids.
@@stoneneils who's whining? I don't know what Canada you live where you don't need to work. Stop trolling.
@@michelle.goodridge You'll see when you get older. We don't need to work as long as we have rent control + universal healthcare. Our costs are 100% predicatable. We need to make some money yeah..but work like in the us? No. Very few Canadians 60+ truly work...even in our fifties many stop. We can get pension a 55 is some provinces.
In a heartbeat.
Its been two days, you've had many heartbeats. Did you leave, or are you just barking like a cute little doggie.
Homeless everywhere 😩
S.O.S. Canada 🇨🇦💔
Welcome to the real world..there were homeless everywhere way back in the 70s when i was a kid, You people today are just living in fear and trepidation lol..too much youtube bullshit making $$ off your gullibiilty.
I’ve wanted to go overseas for a long time and the current state of affairs is pushing me towards that exodus
We grew up in a fabulous Canada - that is gone forever. There’s nothing here except 80 hour work week and million dollar condos - they go hand in hand and 🙄 both suck.
@MichaelBinsky true that … the only reason I lived in downtown Toronto was to avoid a 3 hour a day commute. It’s a necessity to be closer to bed because we’re exhausted from the 6 am to midnight work day.
The report is pre-Covid...wow, this has gained some traction...
after a lotto win... YES!!!
Huh? People move with zero dollars. You are making excuses. I moved with $5000 bucks twice to the usa and europe..you figure it out once you are there. You don't wait to win the lotto.
@@stoneneils 😨😅✌️✌️
I have physical and mental health concerns that make me a questionable hire lol. Luckily my partner is amazing and is our sole home provider and I'm a stay at home wife. I like it more than I thought I would, taking care of the house and husband, but we still won't ever own a home here. Cost of living is way too high to live this way anymore.... where it shouldn't be out of range for people to stay home and raise kids (if you so choose).
I would love to leave, but my partner makes more money in Vancouver as a Millwright than anywhere else in Canada.... he also gets to work in town. It would also be a mistake for me to leave our Healthcare system. It's not perfect.... but I would of easily crossed into hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt if I was American...
I feel for all us Canadians.... we're feeling thw squeeze.
Did you look into the insurance?
I live in the US and heck yes I would leave
Canada is a springboard to populate the USA. In fact, many immigrants to Canada come from this country only to obtain citizenship and a Canadian passport. Once they have obtained these two documents, they request immigration to the USA and obtain it very quickly. The two countries, Canada and the USA, began the process of immigration to Canada in 1867 at the same time as populating this continent in 1820. The total population of USA in 2023 is 339,996,563 people. The total population of Canada in 2023 is 40.77 million. Justin Trudeau's father Pierre Elliote Trudeau, former Prime Minister of Canada from 1968 to 1979 and from 1980 to 1984, politician, writer wanted to increase the population of Canada to 50 million but did not succeed.
Canada, the home of equity and fairness 😂😂😂
To see a better life once again here in Canada we have to say bye to this liberal government !! Not worth the cost !!
Yes, people are. I am, there are many ways of doing it. Get a remote job, and move abroad.
All these folks voted for Trudeau as well😂😂
Once I get enough equity I’m selling my house and moving to the Philippines or my wife’s country Laos. It’s nice cuz my dad already had a house in the Phil’s cheap delicious food and cheap beer and cigarettes here i come!
I know many many ❤❤
its same every where.. you can run but can't hide from this mess.
No question, I’ve travelled all over and would leave in a second if the right opportunity arose
Too much to consider, being a single adult your accountable for your choices. With a family, to move to any location mentioned free? Nothings free, fine print and political guidelines will be a hurdle to get your offer and how about language barriers and job security? Health care system and omg is there even wifi in those places. Personally leaving is not an option. I’ve been groomed to appreciate what I have and able to adapt to change like inflation and interest rates, just have to keep on that hustle. And I’m ok with that, Canada is a great place to live and raise a family.
You need more self respect
Self respect in what terms?
Canada is becoming worse than a third world country. India has better healthcare and a much bigger economy.
That's so true, Canada doesn't have a diverse economy it just went to real estate. Canada use to have such a string manufacturing sector now there's nothing
Then why do all the Indians flee to Canada?
Canada is a waste land and everyone i know has moved already or is planning their move, myself included. My life is so much better when I'm abroad in the sunshine; all i need is internet
This is currently the dream. Hoping to go remote and not look back at Canada for a good while.
30,000 Europos 😂😂😂😂😂😂
First meeting with my immigration lawyer on Tuesday. USA here I come.
😂 good luck with that
@gymjunkie81 Thanks. I'm in the top 2% of earners. I know my skills are needed. Enjoy.
And who voted trudeau in??
Who??
Same comment in every single RUclips video
If you can't afford to live in Canada good luck to you being able to afford living anywhere other than second/third-world nations. A better idea might just be to pick up your game, its really not that expensive. My city is chock full of gen-z living on their own via one basic job..online they think that's impossible lol.
Too WOKE,, too expensive,, too much ageism, too many taxes Let me out of here
I'd move to Russia if I could
Who's stopping you?
