Sadly Canada is no longer a developed nation. We don’t punish crime, we let anyone in regardless of labor skills, our health care system is failing, we pay high taxes and government of all levels regardless of party are utterly useless and in the pockets of big business. I don’t blame people for leaving
@@GriffinMilksdon't worry Pierre Poilievre will cut 10's of thousands of public servant jobs which will crash housing in Ottawa and Hull. Don't you agree?
I am the son of an immigrant, but seeing how unplanned immigration has ruined Canada makes me cry. My work is related to immigration, and I can tell you that every day, thousands of people seek asylum at ports of entry, with no signs of it slowing down. Meanwhile, good, hardworking, and well-meaning people are leaving Canada.
I went to IKEA yesterday. People just cutting you off and standing in your way, etc. Not saying sorry, excuse me or holding the door. It’s these small things that made Canada. That’s what has ruined it for me. These small things are gone.
It is not a difficult decision. It is a very easy choice when you’re paying incredible amount in taxes, extreme weather conditions and a terrible prime minister in government.
I agree weather is terrible, but US??? We pay so much and in top of that health care and in top of that we have the orange agent falling on our heads. Probably you are a trumpist, coz US people are looking to leave.
Yeah summer time wild fire smokes 🚬 and winter time minus 50 dark winter no sun and cold ppl anti social ppl Rents too high only work work no life here
Honestly, life is very simple in Canada. Work 2 to 3 jobs for 30 years to pay off your million dollar house then retire in your 60s then end up in a nursing home in your 70s and 80s then you die. The end.
I think you pretty much nailed every issue. I'm 65 still working owning several properties. Land transfer tax when you buy, income tax on the rent, property tax every year, capital gains when you sell. Income tax on employment income,sales tax, carbon tax , paying well over 100k a year in tax. Scandals, like the renewable energy slush fund that nobody talks about. 400m$ of taxpayers money. I go to emergency and have to wait 14 hours for a couple stitches because it is over run with all these people taking advantage of free health care. Baby bonus of 700 a month. If I had 5 or 6 kids I would definitely come to Canada, we provide everything. Easy life. Housing education Healthcare, on and on. Its ridiculous, I'm goi g to sell everything and move somewhere where I am not going to be robbed by the multitudes. Nuff said!
I'm a Canadian who has been living in Japan since 1988. I have watched as house prices in Canada have risen and things have reversed as far as cost of living between the two countries. I pay $950 cdn for a 3br house 20 minutes from work. I love Canada, just not the way society is now.
I have dual US/CAD citizenship and we decided as a family of five (3 young children) to start making our way to FL. Main reasons are taxes, weather and general quality of life.
As Canadians, many of us feel that our quality of life has been slipping. We’re seeing changes in our communities that make us uncomfortable - from safety concerns to cultural shifts that don’t seem to integrate well with our values. The rapid and unchecked influx of newcomers who aren't engaging with Canadian culture has led to neighborhoods feeling less safe and streets becoming dirtier.When did we, as Canadians, start needing security cameras and extra safety doors just to feel secure in our own homes? In some areas, even personal freedom, like how women dress, is being restricted due to radical mindsets that don't align with Canadian principles of freedom and tolerance. It’s frustrating to see our country change in ways that don't seem to prioritize Canadian values and safety. We need leadership that genuinely cares about preserving what makes Canada great.
Trudeau happened to yur county! Maybe next election people won’t vote for the commie? Communism Never works! It’s funny because I remember my older brother telling me he couldn’t get into Canada because he had a dui 20 yrs prior. But they will let illegals in not even knowing their records or names.
As a English Canadian we are not only financially bein forced out but we are bein forced out of most working areas especially in trades. They pay there workers much less then what we make so employers are swapping to them. And meanwhile once they get into the hiring position they will pretty much exclusively only hire people from their culture and you don't see any more English Canadians. Culturally Canadians wanna help other people where is cultures like Indian will always help themselves 100% of the time over anyone else and they will also hide their intentions. Kinda like what the Chinese did with the real-estate market. Once these cultures get into government they just start doing business illegally with their own race to make themselves rich at w.e the cost.. usually a cost of selling some part of Canadian life... something they owe no loyalty
Man, I thought I made it out of Canada pre covid in 2019 - early 2020. I was able to open 7 businesses in the Philippines. 6 gyms and 1 restaurant. I was about to FINALLY quit my job as a mental health and addictions nurse in Toronto but covid happened. I still have not recovered from my losses and back in Toronto since 2020. My businesses never re-opened again due to lockdowns and run away inflation post lockdowns. I will never forget that feeling of freedom pre-covid. Everyday I dream, plan, look for ways to get out of here.
Hope you achieve your dream man! I’m an addictions counselling student and hope to do addictions and mental health research. I’m hoping to move to the USA since Canada is failing as a nation.
@@KoolKat42no, but the DEI madness at govt is meant to keep old-stock canadians hiring very low. We live in Globalistan. And Trudeau wrecked this place forever with this decade of Wokeracy.
Less than 7% of Canadian population is south asian. Most newcomers work in places revolving around customer-facing roles like supermarkets, restaurants etc. brought here on low-wage immigration programs leading to resentment.
I want to share my journey as an immigrant from Europe to Canada, where I initially pursued my dream of becoming a doctor. Armed with a medical degree, I faced a challenging reality: navigating the extensive red tape in the Canadian medical system to have my credentials recognized was daunting. Despite my passion and commitment, the restrictions imposed on internationally trained medical professionals and the skyrocketing cost of living forced me to pivot to another field within the medical sector just to make ends meet. After spending a decade in Canada, I made the difficult decision to leave and relocate to the United States. Here, I have found a thriving medical practice where I am not only utilizing my skills but also achieving financial stability. Reflecting on my time in Canada, I truly appreciate the experiences and lessons I learned, but I believe there’s an urgent need for reform in the Canadian healthcare system. Without changes to facilitate a smoother transition for internationally trained doctors, the ongoing physician shortage could become even more critical. Canada's rich potential can only be realized by embracing the talents of all medical professionals eager to contribute.
I am a temporary immigrant from Poland, but the only reason why I'm here is a) fact that I have quite a good job here b) I like people here and your nature,(including the winters - yes, I like cold and snow 😉). Unfortunately, from the economical point of view it's easier to live in Poland, where, despite a lower incomes, costs of live in relation to salary are better. I'm talking about it, because it's amazing, taking into account where both countries were 30 or even 20 years ago. At that time Canada was for an average Pole like a promised land and now I don't even considering to stay here more than a few years. It's so sad, because this huge and beautiful country, with great people have so big potential to be this promised land, but instead is going in an opposite direction 😔
I've always been less interested in politics. But the situation of this country is sooo bad that I am actively learning more and more about government, what they did, their schemes, etc. Honestly speaking, this country has the least capable government at the moment.
I am shocked how many people were foolish enough to vote for JTs LPC more that once! I'm personally glad the Liberals didn't have a very good candidate in my riding in 2015 or i may have voted for them.
Very overblown , just irrational. But indeed , the Anglo bubble is becoming itself and that was always destined to reveal their smarmy layer of that touted tenuous " lifestyle". Raw material robbers abd no added value , just smiling fakely and shorttermism .
Canadian here. Used to be able to live off of $30,000 income per year with no debt (around 5 years ago). Now, I make $64,000 yearly and am living pay check to pay check with $22,000 in debt. That's being careful with money. I live alone by the way. I can't imagine trying to feed an entire family. Thank God I have the hope of God
Canadian here, I support 5 people it is not easy. Not to mention I pay close to 30,000 in income tax. I do pay less taxes because of my dependents however don't qualify for any of these socialist programs I pay into.
@GriffinMilks 100%! I'll be trying to save money in 2025 by cutting down costs and creating some extra income! Subscribed! This is the only video of yours I've seen. I will go check out your channel 🥰
Where are you living? I live in Cape Breton N.S. and make 62k salary, have a wife she dose not work, 3 small kids no debt and savings in the bank and cash home. I’m also 30 to by the way. I buy my cars no payments, and am very good at saving. But i can’t get a house and am stuck renting, can’t get into see a doctor. Canada has fallen.
@@Talaxiin give truenorth mortgage a call, honestly, my bank refused me 8 times as my wages went from 50-100k. they were able to get me a good mortgage. funny enough, after i bought my house. my bank told me a i qualified for a mortgage. i no longer bank with them.
Most people who emigrate to the USA do so to start a new life there. Most people who emigrate to Canada do so to continue the life they had in their home country, but in better conditions. They can continue to associate with people from their own country and live the same lifestyle from there. They have no interest in Canadian culture and never integrate into it. They acquire the Citizenship and the passport, but still know practically nothing about Canada.
In Taiwan, taxes are very low and enough to build new bridges and new public transit lines and to hire workers who clean the streets every single morning (you actually see them outside sweeping the roads and sidewalks). Art decorations and events for the many holidays and customs (both Taiwanese and western, such as Christmas and Halloween) are also funded to improve quality of life in Taiwan. In Canada, the city never changes. Taxes go to the government, which doesn't even create jobs for workers to build and clean up the streets
you forgot the insane homeless and drug crisis. I'm in coastal BC. Our city just announced a 66.9% property tax increase over the next couple years. Yes, SIXTYSIX POINT NINE percent increase. Thanks to the tremendous problems this city has because of homelessness, overdoses, addiction, violence, theft and vandalism. Maybe it is time to pack our bags and go back where we came from...in my family's case, Northern Europe. At least there, we BELONG- where as here, we are accused of living on "stolen land". Thanks Canada. We were welcome 25 years ago to fill the employment gaps and pay hundreds of thousands of taxes since...time to leave this sinking ship....
[BC] "At least there, we BELONG- where as here, we are accused of living on "stolen land" '. So true. It's satisfying to have a sense of belonging. Government has stolen that from us; among other important things.
Every country has its pros and cons, this issue with canada is that it used to be that people had a spirit of improving the country whereas now people dont believe thats worth it, turning the canadian dream into "making enough money to move to a cheaper nice weather country for the rest of my life". The worst aspect is that when people give up on the canadian dream they often become nihilistic drug abusers, alcoholics, or mentally ill.
Interesting, in the Philippines the max average wage is like 10,000 dollars...per year. It'd be interesting that you tell me how with this wage you can save money or well go further than with an average wage in Canada.
Hi Tom I just returned from the Philippines in October and spent a month in Bacnotan.. And I could not agree with your assessment more I am just over 2 years away from retiring there full time myself up in Leyte were my Filipina's family is from.. The cost of rent is very reasonable and or the purchase of a home new or used we will likely purchase a place out in the province a few miles from town or in one of the outer Barangay I am headed back in May to have a look around to see what are options are.. To me this is the only way we can afford to retire with some dignity and still have some quality of life..
@@markkozowy5233 Hey Mark, great to hear, I am in Masbate, not too far from Leyte. Province life is even more reasonable to live and to me, its kinda like camping full time lol, love it. The Philippines is not for everyone, but for those who take life in stride, and dont get upset at the little things, its an adventure here :) Where are you from Mark?
@TOMSTRAVELS18 Hi Tom I have no issues at all with that type of lifestyle my misses is from the province and I am a country boy, X-military , so used to inconvenience and roughing it.😉 And I live in Northern British Columbia just out side of Fort St John..
If it were becoming India, it would've been better 😂 India's GDP- $4,340 Billion. Canada's GDP- $2,361 Billion. Comparing the facilities that an average middle class Indian has in India is way better than what an average Canadian has access to. Stop living under a rock, learn about other economies and do something useful.
I’m not Canadian but after 6 years i decided to go back home! (Mexico). As you pointed out 3:03 i thought was a good move years ago but now it still going worse. 3 weeks ago i left the country but still using banking and phone services of Canada. Idiots politics destroyed the economy
Not doing well. No tickets..no accidents. I have two vans I paid $5000 for the year for insurance. They just sent me a new bill..$14k for both vehicles..and..want them paid in advance. I'm already paying $2400 a month for a small one bedroom apartment. Now...without vehicles...I can't work. Been without both vehicles since September...a friend picks ne up for work. This is crazy...im out of Canada as soon as possible.
Life is hard in canada ..its super cold ..everything is expensive ... too much taxes ..average salary is so low ... high cost of living is real here .i cant wait to move
No longer the country that I loved and grew up in. Trudope killed it!! Yet he remains in power. I left for good just over a year ago, and I've never been happier.
I left canada 10 years ago, best decision, never looked back, will never go back. If you do not enjoy the sh*t show then it is time to leave, take your drive and skill set to a place it is appreciated. Either way, good luck and happy holidays!
Considering what we pay in taxes, our healthcare system should be world-class, with zero wait times and a plethora of options. I feel like it only covers the bare minimum with unacceptable wait times at this point.
Your mortality rate increases when you enter into the Canadian healthcare system. I broke my leg that ended up requiring surgery.. the doc in Montreal told me to readmit myself to a hospital in my city (Toronto).. weird… then i learned that they needed to open me up again. My leg is never the same. I have a permanent disabled leg.
@@chopaface I heard that British Columbia has been sending their cancer patients to Washington State for treatment because they don't have enough facilities to treat them in BC. What is going on?
interestingly, freeland was fired from her role on Friday when JT told her that he didn't want her to continue as the FM and to reshuffle her back into the cabinet. On Monday, she resigned from the cabinet. Then the guy who was supposed to be the next FM, quits before he even started. It was written in her resignation letter that there were strategies and policies that she did not agree with and no longer had confidence in JT's leadership. Seems like there were many things happening in the background where FM was being instructed by JT and she didn't buy-in but followed through cuz JT is her boss. Seems like Freeland got out before everything collapsed, looool. i do not envy the person who is going to take her place... he'll just be another JT puppet and destroy his/her political career.
Yes agreed, my son sees no future for him here. Actively trying to leave now. Best of luck to all the Canadian kids coming up in this changed, deranged, land we use to call home.
Very true analysis. Allowing a million plus immigration in 2023 and that trend continued led to catastrophic level housing. All time high of unemployment. Grocery shopping has gone up 2.5x. Unaffordable to live in Canada.
I'm definitely one of them. I'm an immigrant who has been here for 24 years. I have come to love Canada as I have been here most of my life (I came when I was only 13), but lately it has changed so much in just a couple of years with not only the cost of living rising which I know is pretty much everywhere in the world right now, but crime, addiction and other problems. I'm a professional and earn a decent income with my own practice and I still have a lot of debt even though me and my husband are not big spenders and we have not gone on vacation in more than 2 years. Now we are definitely looking at leaving, we speak a second language so are looking into European countries that will provide us more of a work life balance without having to live to work and still be in debt. I am definitely sad that I have to leave behind everything I worked for and start from scratch in a new country, but the outlook here is not good.
Please… would love to see you make a video on ways to leave Canada. this coming from a born and raised Canadian that’s seen the best of times of Canada and now the systematic destruction of a once incredible place.
Great video. I was once proud to be Canadian, but no longer. I’m 48 and haven’t had my own home since my mid-30s. I’ve had to live back with my parents for the past 10 years due to the housing market and high cost of living. To move back to Toronto, or really anywhere else in Canada on my own, is to walk into a trap. As a lifelong traveller, that is torture for me. Living overseas for the long haul while working for myself online (Geoarbitrage) is what makes most sense now.
I have been without a general practitioner doctor for 11 years. I have seen 3 different nurse practitioners in 5 years. The previous two left for better contacts. I also have a mobility disability with a medical diagnosis. I am in my early fifties and will not be able to retire. I moved to the current province I live in 5 years ago for cheaper rents. Although even this province for the past 5 years is getting more expensive because of immigration, government greed, and real estate greed. Pretty much like the rest of Canada. Rent is starting at 1100 for a bachelor, 1200 for a one bedroom and 1500 and up to 2400 for a three bedroom. Real estate bubble needs to burst. Affordable provincial low income units are a 3000 person waitlist in my province currently. Living in Canada is not sustainable any longer.
I started making plans to leave Canada back in 2014, after the Government encouraged my ex-wife to try to ruin my life through an unnecessary child custody battle. She was allowed, and encouraged to harrass me through the gender biased "Family" Law system for 16 years, from 2004 to 2020. Anyway, I ended up leaving Canada once my son reached adulthood in October of 2021, and it was the best move I have ever made for me and my new family. We are living a much better life being out of the $hi+hole that is Canada.
I was so proud of myself when I became Canadian a few years ago. Now, my family back in my home country have all heard about what's going on in Canada, and I don't have any pride in talking about my 2nd passport of a "first-world country" anymore
Being around the same age as you and living in the same city, I simply cannot agree more. Absolutely everything you said is sad but true. No children (yet), no own property (and no plans/hope of having one), housing costs around $3k, transportation and groceries around $1k, no privilege of dining out, at most, my wife and I get happy when going to McDonald's at least once or twice a month. Not to mention healthcare...no family doctor (although it wouldn't make any difference), afraid as f* of playing any kind of sport and maybe getting an injury and have to go to hospital. Everything here is collapsing. I love Canada, but can't stop looking down south...
Amazing video, Griffin! I can relate so closely on the healthcare section… absolutely atrocious. With my new mortgage renewal, I made sure to grab a variable rate (prime - 0.91%) since I can only see Canada’s economy going downhill over the next 1-2 years. Brutal.
Im hard working framer paying my tax every year and civil engineer, im trying to get PR since 2009; Canada taking only refugee and people that not contribute to the economy that's the main reason.
Canada is one of a kind, other courties may struggle due to the lack of resources, land, educated population, tech... But Canada is doomed by the poor gov, they spent the most money to address the least problem, I just give up
I moved from the USA to Canada 10 years ago and I’ve never been happier. The cost of living isn’t much different and my experience with the healthcare here in Canada has been as good or better than the USA. The things that are so much better are the lower crime rates and the amazing diversity and people in Canada.
We left Canada (Victoria BC) in the spring of 2021 for the United States. Just sick and tired, as a high income earner, of paying extremely high taxes for very little return. Arizona has a flat state tax on personal income of 2.5%, I keep so much more of MY money in my own pocket. Housing is cheaper, groceries are cheaper, entertainment is cheaper, gas is cheaper, clothing is cheaper, and so on and so forth. The weather’s better too. 😊
75000 salary, a wife and a child, and barely surviving. We spend nothing outside food, rent, utilities, clothes, transportation, and baby stuff. Had we not had some savings before we started a family, we would have been in a much worse situation.
I used to be a proud Canadian immigrant, but it turned out it's the worst mistake ever. I will purely blame the poor JUSTICE system. Men gets screwed by the justice system poor family law. Criminals have more rights than the average Joe. Also, I am happy that some of my close friends left this country (they were making six figures). And I encourage every high value folks to leave this place. Pretty soon, this country will be filled with folks only with a victim mentality. Every time I run into my friends circle, almost always someone is planning to move to the US or Europe, even South America.
My family has been here since the 1600's. Lived trough 2 regimes and 5 different type of governments. Tu current situtation is unpleasant but I'm strong. I'll stay.
@@Tykoon get out big mouth Canada over USA everyday...only true Canadians belong here anyway....enjoy such great education and health care...laughing stock of north america USA sucks
Housing...ok! Years ago when I worked in an architects office, we would do condos. Half way through the design process, the boss would tell us to send pdf files of the condos to someone in China in order to pre-sell them there. The clients there would then buy three or four units. Only much later would anyone in Canada have an opportunity to put a downpayment for one. And the downpayment was usually way too high that only speculators and inversors could afford. Now, the units that the Chinese bought are sitting empty, because the owners don't need to rent them; they have enough money to not worry about such things. In the meantime, there are homeless sleeping on the street. Can you fault the developer for that? Yes, you can! Firstly, they get subsidies to buy the properties onto which they want to build on in the hopes that they will actually build affordable housing. They get fast tracked thought the whole planning and building process. And yet, what does an average Canadian who already payed into that process get? Nothing! Suggestion; anyone owning more than the place they are living in, should be taxed 100% of the market value of the second or thrird or fourth property they own EVERY year! And ban anyone who is not a citizen or a full time resident of Canada from owning any properties here. Out!
Canada should just merge with the US, most of the economic problems Canadians are facing would easily be resolved if the border was removed and the living standards would then normalize. Stronger currency, cheaper housing, access to a much larger job market, seamless trade with no risk of tariffs, etc. the list of benefits goes on. Even Netflix for Canadians would have more movies after a merger because of the removal of copyright restrictions that currently exist for users located outside of the US.
Don't simply retire from something; have something to retire to. Start saving, keep saving, and stick to investments. Everyone should have BTC in their portfolio🌲
It’s really heartbreaking to see how inflation and recession impact low-income families. The cost of living keeps rising, and many struggle just to meet basic needs, let alone save or invest. It’s a reminder of the importance of finding ways to create financial opportunities. You've helped me a lot sir Robert! Imagine i invested $50,000 and received $190,500 after 14 days
Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Robert L Cox.
I have left the rental / housing market completely ill never get back in, i dont trust it all around. Whats next is food prices could sky rocket again the worst is yet to come Mr milks thanks for the good videos lately you are calling out this INSANITY
I spent almost my entire life in this country served for this country, proud of this country and now I two have decided to leave never did I think in 40 years and being honest, spinning blue ball that I would see this country turned into what it turned into, although I was warned by people older than me who seen it coming It’s too bad somebody with some nuts wouldn’t step up and actually turn this country into what it could be and all his greatness Thanks for the video
It's even worse to find a job ass an unvaccinated nurse that didn't get the Cv 19 shot. Literally every establishment and agency will not hire me although I have 13 years nursing experience and 7 of which are in the hospital sector. They'll save those jobs for the news immigrants.
I think it NEEDS to be noted how Florida was used as an example when Florida's policies are almost the exact opposite of Canada as a whole. And that Canada's policies are more similar to California, and they're facing the same issues. But Californians solution to the problem isn't to accept that it's their fault, but to move to other areas with diffrent policies because living costs aren't stupid high, get annoyed by how they run things differently, and vote to make it more like where they're from, and ruinings locals homes in the process
The problem is rich oligarchs- remember- they benefit from cheap and the cheapest labour they can get- so the problem is not immigrants but insatiable neo-liberal capitalism That system uttterly failed, crashed in 2008 and was literally artificially resurrected- aka the infamous bailout The US has a huge homeless and drug adduction problem- what on earth are you talking about bro?!! This is propaganda - the problem is not taxes but rich oligarchs who always find ways around taxes As for the healthcare in Canada- yes for certain specialist appointments one has to wait- especially psychiatry- but I recently had a full annual check up- from thorough bloodwork to a cardio-pulmonary exams and I am in my 30s
Canada needs to make some drastic changes and fast. New government would be the first step. Reducing taxes and scrapping the carbon tax. Reducing immigration and focusing on bringing in people with the skills we need and then being able to actually use those skills. Investing in ways to make healthcare more efficient using AI, Nurse practioners and focusing on educating the public to make healthy choices. Smart legislative changes that limit the amount of sugar and sodium in food and drinks. Adding a tax to unhealthy food and then applying that tax to offset the cost of healthy foods. Giving tax breaks to people who keep themselves healthy and fit. If you're overweight you should be paying a premium.
Social demands under the banner of social justice have led to wage stagnation, extreme taxation to sustain subsidies, and an expansion of regulations so burdensome that inefficiencies are crippling rather than aiding progress. What would a 3% wage increase per year accomplish when inflation outpaced your income and new costs or taxes go up, in addition to the fact that we are not building homes to satisfy demand? Since 2009, taxes on a home have surged from 12% to 30%, meaning that to finance what we call a "better system", authorities take a larger share of our hard work than corporations. The irony is striking-we often blame the wealthy for inequality, yet it's the government that by imposing escalating fees, regulations, and inefficiencies we drain resources and limit opportunities for everyone. It's nonesense!
I have I have been living here for 21 years, now approaching 50 , its not easy to leave and to where , if you are European possibly ? but Middle East is a shit show including Dubai and Saudi Arabia , the heat in summer is unbearable and its not so green and lush like Canadian beauty , I hope Canada will change for the better and the Conservative leader if he become PM take it seriously, I tired to escape in 2013 to Dubai then I came back, in 2014 I went to London UK that was like a fairytale , London is mega ultra fun city but also u need a very good job because its as expensive as New York, at that time I could not get hired because only open for European or if you have a work permit and unlike Canada they use the work permit for high profile jobs like CEO, football player , singer , scientist , and since then the past 10 years Im in deep depression and anxiety , I feel 10 years of my life is wasted, I have achieved nothing, low paying jobs in the banking, cant afford to even rent a studio , seen more than 15 psychiatrists and psychologist and no one seem to know how I can heal. but one thing for sure im not leaving , the nature and even the cold winter is much better than the heat and sand storms of Arabia , some of my friends got MBA from UK and or France and was able to get high paying jobs in Europe , if you are in IT then you possibly can move, my friend in Baghdad asking me to come back , I left Iraq in 1998, now I see so many projects and hospitals , but the culture is so primitive, I think I love Canada , hoping for the best
To busy forcing the locals out and then have us watch as they assist new comers and others... it kills me that i cant cross the border.. such an embarrassment excuse of a country.... Thank You Freedom Convoy For Trying...
I was born and raised in Canada, put myself through college and in 1995 at 29 I moved to the States where I eventually became a US Citizen. So now I am a dual citizen of Canada and the US. I understand that Canada and the US have some type of agreement regarding Social Security, I'm looking for any information about how it all works, I'd like to know if there are companies that can assist me in navigating me through the process. I retired to Southeast Asia in 2022 at 56, still have a couple more years, but I'd like to get my ducks in a row.
I'm leaving can't get health care -Yes Germany has its problems but I already have medical appointments booked for the day after I arrive . This country has lefrt me with a huge debt load .
immigration - no quota control from each nation housing rent - no law in credit discrimination and high price tax - every second you are tax and not sure enjoy quality of life. job opportunities - limited.
I am talking to many young people and hoping they will put themselves first in the hopes of a better life. It will be decades before this might get turned around if ever. Young people shouldn't waste their best years here.
@@Verticaltechwizard Exactly, the Gov't doesn't care about you or your kids future. Let them go if they can for a better life. Old Canada is now long gone. Canadian dream is dead.
I migrated to Canada many decades ago because it was the best place to live, regardless of the cold climate. All the people leaving Canada will return once they realize it's still the best country in the world, regardless of the flaws.
I would love to know the costs associated with leaving. I am sad to consider it being a once proud Canadian, but as a teacher without any salary increase in over a decade, I can’t see a successful retirement. International schools are recruiting and I would be foolish to stay and just complain. The Trudeau family has ruined this country like father like son, hated with reason.
Very accurate assessment- sad but true. Of course we could have seen this from the 1980’s but the rich and the middle landowner and landlord classes were too greedy watching housing skyrocket and had access to free credit to make themselves better off while the rest suffered more and were left out completely… .
Our country has gone downhill for years tax on tax! The government sending our money overseas without consent. Cold winters, useless carbon tax. They can’t even figure out our passports just terrible….

Nobody talks about the exceptionally low quality of the food in Canada
Sadly Canada is no longer a developed nation. We don’t punish crime, we let anyone in regardless of labor skills, our health care system is failing, we pay high taxes and government of all levels regardless of party are utterly useless and in the pockets of big business. I don’t blame people for leaving
Public service is generally the least efficient way of productively spending money!
@@GriffinMilksisn't it the same everywhere right now
Wrong, Canadian cope.
@@GriffinMilksdon't worry Pierre Poilievre will cut 10's of thousands of public servant jobs which will crash housing in Ottawa and Hull. Don't you agree?
Do you ever leave your parent's basement? Canada is not a developed country? Travel a little and find out. Pure grift channel...
I am the son of an immigrant, but seeing how unplanned immigration has ruined Canada makes me cry. My work is related to immigration, and I can tell you that every day, thousands of people seek asylum at ports of entry, with no signs of it slowing down. Meanwhile, good, hardworking, and well-meaning people are leaving Canada.
And absolute shame that’s unsustainable!
Claiming fake asylum and taking advantage of the system
This government really did it, didn't they?
This!! I have witnessed this.
Are white canadians are also leaving canada and where are they going 🤔
I went to IKEA yesterday. People just cutting you off and standing in your way, etc. Not saying sorry, excuse me or holding the door. It’s these small things that made Canada. That’s what has ruined it for me. These small things are gone.
I totally agree that it’s a culmination of small things that make a big impact! Yea IKEA is down the tubes for sure 😅
I can't get out of an elevator these days. Ppl Just block your way
These things are not exclusive to Canada at all.
It is not a difficult decision. It is a very easy choice when you’re paying incredible amount in taxes, extreme weather conditions and a terrible prime minister in government.
:/
I agree weather is terrible, but US??? We pay so much and in top of that health care and in top of that we have the orange agent falling on our heads. Probably you are a trumpist, coz US people are looking to leave.
Command try communism in Canada
Go to Thailand or Laos or even Eastern Europe. Escape the rat race.
Yeah summer time wild fire smokes 🚬 and winter time minus 50 dark winter no sun and cold ppl anti social ppl Rents too high only work work no life here
Honestly, life is very simple in Canada. Work 2 to 3 jobs for 30 years to pay off your million dollar house then retire in your 60s then end up in a nursing home in your 70s and 80s then you die. The end.
You might retire in your 70s. Remember, it is already 67.
Pretty much sums it up
Sadly that's true
I think you pretty much nailed every issue. I'm 65 still working owning several properties. Land transfer tax when you buy, income tax on the rent, property tax every year, capital gains when you sell. Income tax on employment income,sales tax, carbon tax , paying well over 100k a year in tax. Scandals, like the renewable energy slush fund that nobody talks about. 400m$ of taxpayers money. I go to emergency and have to wait 14 hours for a couple stitches because it is over run with all these people taking advantage of free health care. Baby bonus of 700 a month. If I had 5 or 6 kids I would definitely come to Canada, we provide everything. Easy life. Housing education Healthcare, on and on. Its ridiculous, I'm goi g to sell everything and move somewhere where I am not going to be robbed by the multitudes. Nuff said!
Freedom 55. Move to Vietnam, the only thing you'll miss are the rip off prices and taxes back in Canada.
I'm a Japanese Canadian, planning on moving to Japan next year. Rent isn't worth it here.
Best of luck!
…wholeheartedly, agreed!…Japan would definitely be much better place to live and grow.
take me with you, senpai!! >__
Ok but japan also very lonely place to live
I'm a Canadian who has been living in Japan since 1988. I have watched as house prices in Canada have risen and things have reversed as far as cost of living between the two countries. I pay $950 cdn for a 3br house 20 minutes from work. I love Canada, just not the way society is now.
I have dual US/CAD citizenship and we decided as a family of five (3 young children) to start making our way to FL. Main reasons are taxes, weather and general quality of life.
Can’t believe you’re still here with dual citizenship. That’s like the holy grail of opportunities to leave. Best of luck with your family!!
I wish I could do the same😢
Florida got good weather lots of storms floods cyclone tornadoes 🌪

As Canadians, many of us feel that our quality of life has been slipping. We’re seeing changes in our communities that make us uncomfortable - from safety concerns to cultural shifts that don’t seem to integrate well with our values. The rapid and unchecked influx of newcomers who aren't engaging with Canadian culture has led to neighborhoods feeling less safe and streets becoming dirtier.When did we, as Canadians, start needing security cameras and extra safety doors just to feel secure in our own homes? In some areas, even personal freedom, like how women dress, is being restricted due to radical mindsets that don't align with Canadian principles of freedom and tolerance.
It’s frustrating to see our country change in ways that don't seem to prioritize Canadian values and safety. We need leadership that genuinely cares about preserving what makes Canada great.
Trudeau happened to yur county! Maybe next election people won’t vote for the commie? Communism Never works! It’s funny because I remember my older brother telling me he couldn’t get into Canada because he had a dui 20 yrs prior. But they will let illegals in not even knowing their records or names.
No going back
the immigrants need to act according to our laws and customs or leave!
As a English Canadian we are not only financially bein forced out but we are bein forced out of most working areas especially in trades. They pay there workers much less then what we make so employers are swapping to them. And meanwhile once they get into the hiring position they will pretty much exclusively only hire people from their culture and you don't see any more English Canadians. Culturally Canadians wanna help other people where is cultures like Indian will always help themselves 100% of the time over anyone else and they will also hide their intentions. Kinda like what the Chinese did with the real-estate market. Once these cultures get into government they just start doing business illegally with their own race to make themselves rich at w.e the cost.. usually a cost of selling some part of Canadian life... something they owe no loyalty
Our government ruined our country. It's sad
It’s pretty bad!
Conservative provincial governments ruined it - I agree.

Regardless of which govt comes into power they keep favouring boomers which is hurting the young people. They can keep this boomerland.

Man, I thought I made it out of Canada pre covid in 2019 - early 2020. I was able to open 7 businesses in the Philippines. 6 gyms and 1 restaurant. I was about to FINALLY quit my job as a mental health and addictions nurse in Toronto but covid happened. I still have not recovered from my losses and back in Toronto since 2020. My businesses never re-opened again due to lockdowns and run away inflation post lockdowns. I will never forget that feeling of freedom pre-covid. Everyday I dream, plan, look for ways to get out of here.
Hope you achieve your dream man! I’m an addictions counselling student and hope to do addictions and mental health research. I’m hoping to move to the USA since Canada is failing as a nation.
Canada is collapsing faster than expected.
Sad reality!
@GriffinMilks Yes, I thought Canada was the best place to raise my Kids.
@@Josh-tx8sj not if you want them to have a future they can call there own.
Canada has basically turned into India at this point. If you don’t speak Punjabi don’t expect to get hired anywhere where the manager does.
So all the Canadians who work for the government speak Punjabi and are all Indians??
@@KoolKat42no, but the DEI madness at govt is meant to keep old-stock canadians hiring very low. We live in Globalistan. And Trudeau wrecked this place forever with this decade of Wokeracy.

@@lg8587 if he is saying Canada has turned into India, doesn’t that include everyone? Including the government?
Less than 7% of Canadian population is south asian. Most newcomers work in places revolving around customer-facing roles like supermarkets, restaurants etc. brought here on low-wage immigration programs leading to resentment.
I want to share my journey as an immigrant from Europe to Canada, where I initially pursued my dream of becoming a doctor. Armed with a medical degree, I faced a challenging reality: navigating the extensive red tape in the Canadian medical system to have my credentials recognized was daunting. Despite my passion and commitment, the restrictions imposed on internationally trained medical professionals and the skyrocketing cost of living forced me to pivot to another field within the medical sector just to make ends meet.
After spending a decade in Canada, I made the difficult decision to leave and relocate to the United States. Here, I have found a thriving medical practice where I am not only utilizing my skills but also achieving financial stability. Reflecting on my time in Canada, I truly appreciate the experiences and lessons I learned, but I believe there’s an urgent need for reform in the Canadian healthcare system. Without changes to facilitate a smoother transition for internationally trained doctors, the ongoing physician shortage could become even more critical. Canada's rich potential can only be realized by embracing the talents of all medical professionals eager to contribute.
I am a temporary immigrant from Poland, but the only reason why I'm here is
a) fact that I have quite a good job here
b) I like people here and your nature,(including the winters - yes, I like cold and snow 😉).
Unfortunately, from the economical point of view it's easier to live in Poland, where, despite a lower incomes, costs of live in relation to salary are better. I'm talking about it, because it's amazing, taking into account where both countries were 30 or even 20 years ago. At that time Canada was for an average Pole like a promised land and now I don't even considering to stay here more than a few years. It's so sad, because this huge and beautiful country, with great people have so big potential to be this promised land, but instead is going in an opposite direction 😔
I've always been less interested in politics. But the situation of this country is sooo bad that I am actively learning more and more about government, what they did, their schemes, etc. Honestly speaking, this country has the least capable government at the moment.
Thanks for watching Ravi! Consider aubscribing
I am shocked how many people were foolish enough to vote for JTs LPC more that once!
I'm personally glad the Liberals didn't have a very good candidate in my riding in 2015 or i may have voted for them.
Oh, have you looked at the government's of Germany, France, the good old USA, the western world is over. Go south or east young man.
I'd say this government is more than capable but is CHOOSING to be self-serving.
Very overblown , just irrational. But indeed , the Anglo bubble is becoming itself and that was always destined to reveal their smarmy layer of that touted tenuous " lifestyle". Raw material robbers abd no added value , just smiling fakely and shorttermism .
I don't know any Canadian below 50 who isn't suffering. And some of the 50 year olds are suffering too.
Canadian here. Used to be able to live off of $30,000 income per year with no debt (around 5 years ago). Now, I make $64,000 yearly and am living pay check to pay check with $22,000 in debt. That's being careful with money. I live alone by the way. I can't imagine trying to feed an entire family. Thank God I have the hope of God
It’s tough times! Thanks for watching
Canadian here, I support 5 people it is not easy. Not to mention I pay close to 30,000 in income tax. I do pay less taxes because of my dependents however don't qualify for any of these socialist programs I pay into.

Most people who emigrate to the USA do so to start a new life there.
Most people who emigrate to Canada do so to continue the life they had in their home country, but in better conditions. They can continue to associate with people from their own country and live the same lifestyle from there. They have no interest in Canadian culture and never integrate into it. They acquire the Citizenship and the passport, but still know practically nothing about Canada.
Agreed - we pay sooo many taxes on everythinggg, it's insaneee!

In Taiwan, taxes are very low and enough to build new bridges and new public transit lines and to hire workers who clean the streets every single morning (you actually see them outside sweeping the roads and sidewalks). Art decorations and events for the many holidays and customs (both Taiwanese and western, such as Christmas and Halloween) are also funded to improve quality of life in Taiwan. In Canada, the city never changes. Taxes go to the government, which doesn't even create jobs for workers to build and clean up the streets

you forgot the insane homeless and drug crisis. I'm in coastal BC. Our city just announced a 66.9% property tax increase over the next couple years. Yes, SIXTYSIX POINT NINE percent increase. Thanks to the tremendous problems this city has because of homelessness, overdoses, addiction, violence, theft and vandalism. Maybe it is time to pack our bags and go back where we came from...in my family's case, Northern Europe. At least there, we BELONG- where as here, we are accused of living on "stolen land". Thanks Canada. We were welcome 25 years ago to fill the employment gaps and pay hundreds of thousands of taxes since...time to leave this sinking ship....
67% increase… how can people even include that in their budget!! Honestly same here in Gatineau though. Massive property tax increases
[BC] "At least there, we BELONG- where as here, we are accused of living on "stolen land" '. So true. It's satisfying to have a sense of belonging. Government has stolen that from us; among other important things.
Every country has its pros and cons, this issue with canada is that it used to be that people had a spirit of improving the country whereas now people dont believe thats worth it, turning the canadian dream into "making enough money to move to a cheaper nice weather country for the rest of my life".
The worst aspect is that when people give up on the canadian dream they often become nihilistic drug abusers, alcoholics, or mentally ill.
Yea, that’s a good way of looking at it. It’s unfortunate

Hi Tom I just returned from the Philippines in October and spent a month in Bacnotan..
And I could not agree with your assessment more I am just over 2 years away from retiring there full time myself up in Leyte were my Filipina's family is from..
The cost of rent is very reasonable and or the purchase of a home new or used we will likely purchase a place out in the province a few miles from town or in one of the outer Barangay I am headed back in May to have a look around to see what are options are..

Considering what we pay in taxes, our healthcare system should be world-class, with zero wait times and a plethora of options. I feel like it only covers the bare minimum with unacceptable wait times at this point.

interestingly, freeland was fired from her role on Friday when JT told her that he didn't want her to continue as the FM and to reshuffle her back into the cabinet. On Monday, she resigned from the cabinet. Then the guy who was supposed to be the next FM, quits before he even started. It was written in her resignation letter that there were strategies and policies that she did not agree with and no longer had confidence in JT's leadership. Seems like there were many things happening in the background where FM was being instructed by JT and she didn't buy-in but followed through cuz JT is her boss. Seems like Freeland got out before everything collapsed, looool.
i do not envy the person who is going to take her place... he'll just be another JT puppet and destroy his/her political career.

Very true analysis. Allowing a million plus immigration in 2023 and that trend continued led to catastrophic level housing. All time high of unemployment. Grocery shopping has gone up 2.5x. Unaffordable to live in Canada.
It’s very disappointing to see it unfolding!
I'm definitely one of them. I'm an immigrant who has been here for 24 years. I have come to love Canada as I have been here most of my life (I came when I was only 13), but lately it has changed so much in just a couple of years with not only the cost of living rising which I know is pretty much everywhere in the world right now, but crime, addiction and other problems. I'm a professional and earn a decent income with my own practice and I still have a lot of debt even though me and my husband are not big spenders and we have not gone on vacation in more than 2 years. Now we are definitely looking at leaving, we speak a second language so are looking into European countries that will provide us more of a work life balance without having to live to work and still be in debt. I am definitely sad that I have to leave behind everything I worked for and start from scratch in a new country, but the outlook here is not good.
Best of luck in Europe!

Sorry to hear that Sam! Best of luck
Great video. I was once proud to be Canadian, but no longer. I’m 48 and haven’t had my own home since my mid-30s. I’ve had to live back with my parents for the past 10 years due to the housing market and high cost of living. To move back to Toronto, or really anywhere else in Canada on my own, is to walk into a trap. As a lifelong traveller, that is torture for me. Living overseas for the long haul while working for myself online (Geoarbitrage) is what makes most sense now.
Best of luck buddy!
I have been without a general practitioner doctor for 11 years. I have seen 3 different nurse practitioners in 5 years. The previous two left for better contacts. I also have a mobility disability with a medical diagnosis. I am in my early fifties and will not be able to retire. I moved to the current province I live in 5 years ago for cheaper rents. Although even this province for the past 5 years is getting more expensive because of immigration, government greed, and real estate greed. Pretty much like the rest of Canada. Rent is starting at 1100 for a bachelor, 1200 for a one bedroom and 1500 and up to 2400 for a three bedroom. Real estate bubble needs to burst. Affordable provincial low income units are a 3000 person waitlist in my province currently. Living in Canada is not sustainable any longer.
I started making plans to leave Canada back in 2014, after the Government encouraged my ex-wife to try to ruin my life through an unnecessary child custody battle. She was allowed, and encouraged to harrass me through the gender biased "Family" Law system for 16 years, from 2004 to 2020. Anyway, I ended up leaving Canada once my son reached adulthood in October of 2021, and it was the best move I have ever made for me and my new family. We are living a much better life being out of the $hi+hole that is Canada.
I was so proud of myself when I became Canadian a few years ago. Now, my family back in my home country have all heard about what's going on in Canada, and I don't have any pride in talking about my 2nd passport of a "first-world country" anymore
Well that’s unfortunate to hear’
Who is dumb enough to believe that owning 1 property is a way of building wealth?
Being around the same age as you and living in the same city, I simply cannot agree more. Absolutely everything you said is sad but true.
No children (yet), no own property (and no plans/hope of having one), housing costs around $3k, transportation and groceries around $1k, no privilege of dining out, at most, my wife and I get happy when going to McDonald's at least once or twice a month. Not to mention healthcare...no family doctor (although it wouldn't make any difference), afraid as f* of playing any kind of sport and maybe getting an injury and have to go to hospital. Everything here is collapsing. I love Canada, but can't stop looking down south...
Amazing video, Griffin! I can relate so closely on the healthcare section… absolutely atrocious.
With my new mortgage renewal, I made sure to grab a variable rate (prime - 0.91%) since I can only see Canada’s economy going downhill over the next 1-2 years. Brutal.
omg,,that is an awesome interest rate..l dont ever remember seeing it that low..

I moved from the USA to Canada 10 years ago and I’ve never been happier. The cost of living isn’t much different and my experience with the healthcare here in Canada has been as good or better than the USA. The things that are so much better are the lower crime rates and the amazing diversity and people in Canada.
We left Canada (Victoria BC) in the spring of 2021 for the United States. Just sick and tired, as a high income earner, of paying extremely high taxes for very little return. Arizona has a flat state tax on personal income of 2.5%, I keep so much more of MY money in my own pocket. Housing is cheaper, groceries are cheaper, entertainment is cheaper, gas is cheaper, clothing is cheaper, and so on and so forth. The weather’s better too. 😊
Congrats on the move Dan! I’m sure you don’t regret your decision 🚀
just make sure that you dont let your health insurance lapse..
75000 salary, a wife and a child, and barely surviving. We spend nothing outside food, rent, utilities, clothes, transportation, and baby stuff. Had we not had some savings before we started a family, we would have been in a much worse situation.
I used to be a proud Canadian immigrant, but it turned out it's the worst mistake ever.
I will purely blame the poor JUSTICE system. Men gets screwed by the justice system poor family law. Criminals have more rights than the average Joe.
Also, I am happy that some of my close friends left this country (they were making six figures).
And I encourage every high value folks to leave this place.
Pretty soon, this country will be filled with folks only with a victim mentality.
Every time I run into my friends circle, almost always someone is planning to move to the US or Europe, even South America.

@@NoctisAquila agree 100%..people need to move there if they love it so much..
Justin Trudeau trashed Canada just like a 2-year-old
Housing...ok!
Years ago when I worked in an architects office, we would do condos.
Half way through the design process, the boss would tell us to send pdf files of the condos to someone in China in order to pre-sell them there.
The clients there would then buy three or four units.
Only much later would anyone in Canada have an opportunity to put a downpayment for one.
And the downpayment was usually way too high that only speculators and inversors could afford.
Now, the units that the Chinese bought are sitting empty, because the owners don't need to rent them; they have enough money to not worry about such things.
In the meantime, there are homeless sleeping on the street.
Can you fault the developer for that?
Yes, you can!
Firstly, they get subsidies to buy the properties onto which they want to build on in the hopes that they will actually build affordable housing.
They get fast tracked thought the whole planning and building process.
And yet, what does an average Canadian who already payed into that process get?
Nothing!
Suggestion; anyone owning more than the place they are living in, should be taxed 100% of the market value of the second or thrird or fourth property they own EVERY year!
And ban anyone who is not a citizen or a full time resident of Canada from owning any properties here.
Out!
Canada's being completely destroyed, but hey, atleast we're diverse!
🤦🏻♀️ sad but true.
Diverse: at the moment. The time will come that there are more Indians

I am leaving canada permenently as well I cannot stand this bs place
Where you headed?
@@GriffinMilksLaos and Thailand look pretty good these days.
Goodbye
@phoenixrising4995 yeah and are you going to those countries to be earning like less than 500 dollars...per month which are the average salaries?
Canada should just merge with the US, most of the economic problems Canadians are facing would easily be resolved if the border was removed and the living standards would then normalize. Stronger currency, cheaper housing, access to a much larger job market, seamless trade with no risk of tariffs, etc. the list of benefits goes on. Even Netflix for Canadians would have more movies after a merger because of the removal of copyright restrictions that currently exist for users located outside of the US.
My family and I use to take a winter vacation every year. It has now been many years and we don’t see that returning. It is getting worse for us
Hopefully that gets better for you again!
Yes please! definitely interested in a follow up video on your options for leaving.
Will do! Thanks for commenting
I concur!
Don't simply retire from something; have something to retire to. Start saving, keep saving, and stick to investments. Everyone should have BTC in their portfolio🌲
It’s really heartbreaking to see how inflation and recession impact low-income families. The cost of living keeps rising, and many struggle just to meet basic needs, let alone save or invest. It’s a reminder of the importance of finding ways to create financial opportunities. You've helped me a lot sir Robert! Imagine i invested $50,000 and received $190,500 after 14 days
Absolutely! Profits are possible, especially now, but complex transactions should be handled by experienced market professionals.
Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Robert L Cox.
Finding yourself a good broker is as same as finding a good wife, which you go less stress, you get just enough with so much little effort at things
Cox demonstrates an excellent understanding of market trends, making well informed decisions that leads to consistent profit
I have left the rental / housing market completely ill never get back in, i dont trust it all around. Whats next is food prices could sky rocket again the worst is yet to come Mr milks thanks for the good videos lately you are calling out this INSANITY
Thanks for watching buddy!
I spent almost my entire life in this country served for this country, proud of this country and now I two have decided to leave never did I think in 40 years and being honest, spinning blue ball that I would see this country turned into what it turned into, although I was warned by people older than me who seen it coming
It’s too bad somebody with some nuts wouldn’t step up and actually turn this country into what it could be and all his greatness
Thanks for the video
It's even worse to find a job ass an unvaccinated nurse that didn't get the Cv 19 shot. Literally every establishment and agency will not hire me although I have 13 years nursing experience and 7 of which are in the hospital sector. They'll save those jobs for the news immigrants.
That's crazy! Meanwhile millions of immigrants aren't even vaccinated!
I think it NEEDS to be noted how Florida was used as an example when Florida's policies are almost the exact opposite of Canada as a whole. And that Canada's policies are more similar to California, and they're facing the same issues. But Californians solution to the problem isn't to accept that it's their fault, but to move to other areas with diffrent policies because living costs aren't stupid high, get annoyed by how they run things differently, and vote to make it more like where they're from, and ruinings locals homes in the process
Taxes on taxes even! It’s nuts
For real
You tax the nuts??
Taxing already used car is diabolical during a resell
@@viveksoty 100%!
The problem is rich oligarchs- remember- they benefit from cheap and the cheapest labour they can get- so the problem is not immigrants but insatiable neo-liberal capitalism
That system uttterly failed, crashed in 2008 and was literally artificially resurrected- aka the infamous bailout
The US has a huge homeless and drug adduction problem- what on earth are you talking about bro?!!
This is propaganda - the problem is not taxes but rich oligarchs who always find ways around taxes
As for the healthcare in Canada- yes for certain specialist appointments one has to wait- especially psychiatry- but I recently had a full annual check up- from thorough bloodwork to a cardio-pulmonary exams and I am in my 30s
Canada needs to make some drastic changes and fast. New government would be the first step. Reducing taxes and scrapping the carbon tax. Reducing immigration and focusing on bringing in people with the skills we need and then being able to actually use those skills. Investing in ways to make healthcare more efficient using AI, Nurse practioners and focusing on educating the public to make healthy choices. Smart legislative changes that limit the amount of sugar and sodium in food and drinks. Adding a tax to unhealthy food and then applying that tax to offset the cost of healthy foods. Giving tax breaks to people who keep themselves healthy and fit. If you're overweight you should be paying a premium.
Griffin, make a video on Departure tax
Thanks for commenting! Will do stay tuned.
As an immigrant I can assure you. It's not seasonal affective disorder. It's I wish I never came to Canada disorder
Lol! Sad reality
So true 👍 South Africa is looking really good to me now 😀
Social demands under the banner of social justice have led to wage stagnation, extreme taxation to sustain subsidies, and an expansion of regulations so burdensome that inefficiencies are crippling rather than aiding progress. What would a 3% wage increase per year accomplish when inflation outpaced your income and new costs or taxes go up, in addition to the fact that we are not building homes to satisfy demand? Since 2009, taxes on a home have surged from 12% to 30%, meaning that to finance what we call a "better system", authorities take a larger share of our hard work than corporations. The irony is striking-we often blame the wealthy for inequality, yet it's the government that by imposing escalating fees, regulations, and inefficiencies we drain resources and limit opportunities for everyone. It's nonesense!
Yes please make a video on the rules and stipulations to leaving Canada. I am researching this on my own also.
Sounds good my friend!
I have I have been living here for 21 years, now approaching 50 , its not easy to leave and to where , if you are European possibly ? but Middle East is a shit show including Dubai and Saudi Arabia , the heat in summer is unbearable and its not so green and lush like Canadian beauty , I hope Canada will change for the better and the Conservative leader if he become PM take it seriously, I tired to escape in 2013 to Dubai then I came back, in 2014 I went to London UK that was like a fairytale , London is mega ultra fun city but also u need a very good job because its as expensive as New York, at that time I could not get hired because only open for European or if you have a work permit and unlike Canada they use the work permit for high profile jobs like CEO, football player , singer , scientist , and since then the past 10 years Im in deep depression and anxiety , I feel 10 years of my life is wasted, I have achieved nothing, low paying jobs in the banking, cant afford to even rent a studio , seen more than 15 psychiatrists and psychologist and no one seem to know how I can heal. but one thing for sure im not leaving , the nature and even the cold winter is much better than the heat and sand storms of Arabia , some of my friends got MBA from UK and or France and was able to get high paying jobs in Europe , if you are in IT then you possibly can move, my friend in Baghdad asking me to come back , I left Iraq in 1998, now I see so many projects and hospitals , but the culture is so primitive, I think I love Canada , hoping for the best
No problem we may be losing doctors engineers and entrpeneurs but we are replacing them with Tim Hortons workers so should be OK.
Seriously though!
Lots of qualified delivery drivers with international experience too.
Where would you go? What do you think of Alberta? Or USA ?
I wouldn’t move laterally in Canada. My whole life’s in the NCR. I’d consider 50/50 for a while first with US.
I am certainly interested in leaving Canada. Please make a video about the 4-5 ways I can do to go about leaving my home country :(
To busy forcing the locals out and then have us watch as they assist new comers and others... it kills me that i cant cross the border.. such an embarrassment excuse of a country.... Thank You Freedom Convoy For Trying...
I was born and raised in Canada, put myself through college and in 1995 at 29 I moved to the States where I eventually became a US Citizen.
So now I am a dual citizen of Canada and the US.
I understand that Canada and the US have some type of agreement regarding Social Security, I'm looking for any information about how it all works, I'd like to know if there are companies that can assist me in navigating me through the process. I retired to Southeast Asia in 2022 at 56, still have a couple more years, but I'd like to get my ducks in a row.
I'm leaving can't get health care -Yes Germany has its problems but I already have medical appointments booked for the day after I arrive . This country has lefrt me with a huge debt load .
immigration - no quota control from each nation
housing rent - no law in credit discrimination and high price
tax - every second you are tax and not sure enjoy quality of life.
job opportunities - limited.
The wrong people are leaving.
I am talking to many young people and hoping they will put themselves first in the hopes of a better life. It will be decades before this might get turned around if ever. Young people shouldn't waste their best years here.
@@Verticaltechwizard Exactly, the Gov't doesn't care about you or your kids future. Let them go if they can for a better life. Old Canada is now long gone. Canadian dream is dead.
@equiryder It's so sad but true. It will take 2 decades if we are lucky. The best years of a teen to 20 year old career.
Hate living in Canada right now? Stop voting for Trudeau.
Election coming soon lets hope!
Is to late for us
@@gregkrol3012 it will get worse no matter what at this point. Expect 2 lost decades to come. You don't fix this disaster overnight.
It seems like one of the most intense country's that seem to always consider harmimg it's own citizens first , 2nd , 3rd & last.
I migrated to Canada many decades ago because it was the best place to live, regardless of the cold climate.
All the people leaving Canada will return once they realize it's still the best country in the world, regardless of the flaws.
Yea .... Never was never will be ... And before it was called honored third world country look it up.
Countries rise and fall. Canada has nothing in common with the nation it was 30 years ago. Socially, economically, and demographically.
You mean coming back to a province of India
Remember people are living canada because of Trudeau not because of winter…😊
I would love to know the costs associated with leaving. I am sad to consider it being a once proud Canadian, but as a teacher without any salary increase in over a decade, I can’t see a successful retirement. International schools are recruiting and I would be foolish to stay and just complain. The Trudeau family has ruined this country like father like son, hated with reason.
Watch my most recent video!
A video on rules and regulations when leaving Canada is a must!
Sounds good! Stay tuned
Very accurate assessment- sad but true. Of course we could have seen this from the 1980’s but the rich and the middle landowner and landlord classes were too greedy watching housing skyrocket and had access to free credit to make themselves better off while the rest suffered more and were left out completely… .
Our country has gone downhill for years tax on tax! The government sending our money overseas without consent. Cold winters, useless carbon tax. They can’t even figure out our passports just terrible….
