Who wants to live like a hamster going around and around on a wheel going nowhere. Told to go to school and get a good education, then get a good job. Work hard and have success only to have the government take all your money from you. Either through wealth distribution taxes or just plain bad policies destroying the economy. That is what it's like living in Canada these days. So many people are seeing the exit door and getting off the hamster wheel!!

When we go back & forth there is almost no difference between here in the U.S. and the neighborhood her parents live in. The U.S. gives you lower taxes and better healthcare options. That’s about the only difference between the two.

funny how if i do a bad job i get fired, but if you are in government you get a raise. I feel like seeing how their job is much more important, it shouldnt be like that. if i mess up someone gets a sprite instead of a coke. when they mess up it forces people to leave their home country, go homeless and hungry. imo i dont understand why we need a govt they have proven to be ineffective for 8 years now

I had to use the google translate to understand what he was saying. Ive been in Canada for the past 20+ years and have not seen this type of desperation. Downtown TO has so many homeless encampments. All this within a couple of years. Im sure one can even see these from the CN tower. A lot of home building activity hasnt taken off or have been stalled prematurely. My neighbors kids who are good in school are considering leaving Canada for better education and even life elsewhere. I love being a Canadian and i always defended our broad and inclusive open society which had a potential for hard working immigrants to come and build the nation. All this negative news and views have reached my country of birth and i find it hard to defend my country Canada about its policies and politics. They wonder why Canada being so developed and being a rich country has totally retarded policies regarding immigration, healthcare and use of natural resources. Its all most like Canadians should not be ambitious and dare not overreach. A lot of my colleagues at work and in neighborhood where i live have developed a anti- immigrant mentality. And that too being immigrants themselves just a generation or 2 ago. I can feel that immigration of merited individuals who want to pursue a prospective career and rewarding.life of hard work, will reduce drastically. That may make the anti immigrant bunch happy but Canada as a whole wont get anything done that is good. We need to get past this phase. And this failing leaders who we keep electing. Leaders who have been in power by dividing the population for vote bank purposes. Thats how they have been keeping their jobs. Its sad. I guess we need to see the worst before we see anything thats slightly better. I do sincerely hope my opinion wont get flagged.

If y'all in the GWN think it is any better Due South (awesome TV series, BTW), just wait 'til you get here. If the taxes don't screw you, then the high cost of living combined with the various social ills will do you in. You can most certainly take that to the bank (no wait, our banks are mysteriously imploding, so maybe you can't...). The sitch is marginally better in The Land Down Under, but only if you set the high cost of housing aside. Ditto for Kiwi Country. And forget about crossing the pond for a better life in Jolly Old England--there the harried middle have to increasingly make painful choices between food and metered fuel, rent or school fees for the kids, and healthcare (which is pretty bad, trust me--and that's only if you are lucky enough to get it) or basic necessities. Yep, it's tough all over. And the global income-real estate arbitrage trade has been totally played out. You might as well stay in Canada, where at least you have beautiful scenery (and quite frankly, saner leadership). Just my two Loonies... or is it a Toonie?!?
