The last years, especially since the shutdown, have been have been quite bad with the cost of living being extremely high and wages extremely low. We have two children (about 10 years old) and have started thinking of leaving to Equador, Belize,.. However, we do not have online jobs and are about 20 years away from retirement.

    If you are well-established (friends, family, land or house ownership, being native in your country) in your country, I don't see any point of going to Canada. I have seen a lot of examples of people regretting their decisions. Desolate suburbs, insane house prices, car centric soulless lifestyle, polite but shallow social interactions, stagnant wages, and crime (yes, soft crime is surprisingly high). There is a reason why Canada mostly attracts immigrants from really really poor, unsafe and undeveloped countries because others go to other destinations or stay wherever they are. World is not what it used to be, stay in your safe zone and try other types of adventures, imo.

In Canada I'm taxed crazy to pay for their healthcare which sucks and isn't there when you need it. All my money is taken away from me so they cam hand out free heroin, cocaine, opioids and needles for junkies, instead of actually being a lawful country and arresting them since under Canada's law it's a crime to use drugs. They'll probably legalize them too like they did marijuana which now there're more stores selling that crap than there are grocery stores

    Being born in Canada I was proud of our multiculturalism and believed Canada was the greatest but as an adult I don't understand why people would want to live here. I pay over 40% of my income to the government for all the things that make Canada great but it is just not that way. My taxes help pay for programs that I am not eligible for because before taxes I make too much money but after taxes my take home is the amount that qualifies for programs but that's not how the system works. I need the program because I help pay for it but can't use it because of having money that is not considered to be mine. According to the CRA the money I pay the government in taxes does not and has never belonged to me but that same government labels that tax money as mine in order to deny me the programs I help pay for. It is a good idea to leave Canada if you can. There is no future for the working class except servitude to the government.

    First, I want to thank you for making this video. The health of a country, or the health of an individual which are clearly linked, is dependent on our ability to see ourselves and each other, and make necessary changes to improve in the areas that we lack personally, and as communities in our beautiful country of Canada and other countries as well. Well, it’s a work in progress. I appreciate how you’ve inspired us to speak about things that aren’t necessarily spoken about. At least not where I live and have lived in Canada. Thank you so much for that opportunity. It doesn’t matter about my opinion. What matters is sharing our own thoughts, feelings, and experiences because they aren’t debatable. We are in violation of Multiple Human Rights violations against Inuit , Indigenous and Métis people by the United Nations. Most have no water to drink-not even boiled water and bottled water is available sometimes when it’s brought to reservations . Children don’t have the same access to books. So many thousands of bodies of children taken to residential schools from their parents arms and community for over 160 years yet the deep wounds aren’t given compassion by most people anymore and systemic abuse actively impacts them and therefore all of Us . We are all one whether we see people as other’ or not. We’re humans. They’re not seen in media unless it’s a bad story yet we’re only now teaching one mandatory class by non indigenous people. Solution: elders teach their grandchildren languages that weren’t erased by genocide and environmental /spiritual cultural practices and lifestyles before they’re gone by paying first people elders and streaming it into all Canadian classrooms so the children can see a future where they’re valued and all Canadian kids can get a full education and learn accurate history. Making canoes, baskets, sacred ceremonies, food growing (that they taught to pilgrims so they’d survive here), etc. No, I’m not indigenous. I’m an immigrant like all but the first people. They’ve an amazing culture that’s been all but lost . When we don’t see ourselves represented in any media, any careers, and start our lives in extended poverty based on our race, and all that was taken still today, it’s no wonder the teen suicide rate for indigenous youth is more than double / triple all non - indigenous youth. The numbers are growing. I live in Care due to my physical disabilities . An international nursing student worked for me providing personal care like showers, meal prep etc and over that year, she said she wouldn’t have moved here specifically because of a few things I’ve mentioned. She told me Canada was sold to people in her country of origin as a ‘multicultural’ safe haven without extreme racism still prevalent today and within our history. I’m ashamed of Canadian government promises for over 100 years that aren’t fulfilled. All children deserve healthy drinking Water and an education. Period. Especially, the ambassadors of this amazing land that they see as themselves without separation. That’s accurate. We will have nothing to stand upon if we don’t protect the earth. It will go on without us. I see many things in the comments I’ve seen or experienced, unfortunately. This is a beautiful country for so many reasons. It’s important that from such abundance we listen to your video, look at ourselves honestly and i feel, be the change we want to see in the world like Gandhi said. Much love and healing from an All inclusive advocate. All life matters.

    I moved to Canada in 2003, I think over the past few years things really took a turn for the worst and alot of the issues we're encountering now are mostly a result of government incompetency 1) Instead of focusing on treatment and recovery we prioritized harm reduction and drug decriminalization which largely results in the current mental health/addiction crisis 2) Instead of seeing housing as a public need, policies make housing investment vehicles (notably for rich folks in foreign countries) and locals can't really afford to buy or rent as a result 3) Instead of building mass transit infrastructure including subways/light rail we continue to be extremely car-centric, most Canadians can't get around without a car but also can't really afford one due to all the costs associated with ownership. 4) Government continues to cut back on healthcare spending despite an aging population across the country And one nongovernment-related aspect which is NIMBYism -- endless delays/protests on all major projects because someone is afraid their backyard views might be obstructed or some old trees might be cut.

It is pricey and low quality, especially fresh produce and fruit - much of it picked unripe in central America and shipped thousands of km to be sold on Canadian grocery shelves. If you're in a hurry, it's difficult to find an inexpensive and healthy option, like in many other countries. Your selection is largely limited to TIm Hortons and other fast food chains, which don't generally offer nutritious choices.

    @Yosa Boas I live in an Alberta town, they are very safe. There are no animals that threaten humans here, just coyotes who can barely hold their own against the town cats. Tornadoes are the only natural disasters, but they are very minor and cause virtually no injuries. Blizzards are the main threat, -40 is pretty common, and winds can gust up to 100kph. The medical system in rural areas are much, much less stressed. My doctor always has a slot available within a week and usually an open slot within a day if needed. Medical care is not free for foreigners however, but that's not a big deal, it's like not having access to the free version of a life saving app, and if your credit score is decent you wont qualify for any costly services anyways. I highly recommend not moving to Canada, it has been moving in a tyrannical direction for decades. The Panama Papers show that Canada is the primary tax haven for Americans, the average person pays effectively over 50% in taxes when accounting for inflation, whereas a wealthy person would only pay around 20% on 50% of their earnings, as this is what the capital gains rates are. If you are a multi millionaire looking to offload a literal boatload worth of capital to an anonymous offshore holding company, you should definately give Canada a visit, otherwise it's just your typical totalitarian socialist state that sponsors it's own protests to make it seem democratic when in reality you are a pathetic pleb with no rights.

    Unfortunately no, your not. I was in the Military for 3 decades and they have a separate health care system. I didn’t like it but it was way more available then the civilian system. After having to retire and use the civilian medical system I’ve been very disappointed. For 2 of the 6 years I could only find a NP as a family health care provider and she was terrible. She was my only choice after 2 years on the “Healthcare Connect” rot and wait system. I left and am back into the system for the last 2 years and must now use the hospital emergency or one of the walk in clinics that are popping up all over and they are just a Telemedicine video conference setup. Frankly I’ve given up on it and now research and treat myself whenever possible. I’ve stopped taking the poison I was once prescribed and now take responsibility for my own Heath in any way possible and use the medical system as last resort. I’m not alone and I’m sure that it’s one of the causes of the huge surge of unexpected deaths we’ve been experiencing as many people lost trust in the medical system and it’s corruption by the government during Cov. The USA (and to a simular degree Canada)takes 87% of the worlds prescription drugs yet are 46 on the list for life expectancy and 15 in quality of life. Canada is 16 in life expectancy (taken from worldometers.com) so lots of prescription isn’t the way, I just makes more money for the Pharma. Once Canada’s pride and joy our medical system has become our shame and burden. It coast each province close to Half of their budgets and the quality of care just keeps going down. We have the death boards the Americans were so against when the USA brought in Obama Care were they weigh the budget and the cost of treating you or your aging parents and now advise to commit medical suicide is pushed to help our WEF puppet gov cull excess population.

    @@MakeThatChange I am a black Canadian who lives in the USA. I have known about the job discrimination in Canada for DECADES now. You see, the thing you must understand is that companies will not hire blacks or other minorities - least of all in executive positions - unless they are forced to. That's a general rule but not necessarily exclusively the case. So, randomly opening up a leadership or executive page of any large, brand name Canadian owned and operated company and seeing all white faces doesn't even phase me! You must be very careful. When you open up a leadership page of a large company and see a lot of black or minority faces, that's probably a company that has been bought out by Americans. American owned companies operating in Canada tend to have much less discriminatory practices than Canadian companies. So don't be fooled into thinking it's a Canadian company if you see a lot of minorities in leadership positions. It's probably American. American companies tend to have more equal hiring practices and their equal opportunity hiring practices tend to be extraterritorial.

    This is an interesting overview of Canada and its many issues. I would love to see a follow up video or two looking into these same issues but from a few different perspectives. 1) regionally - Canada is very diverse so our regions are quite different in culture, problems and cause of each. The major regions are: Maritimes/Ontario/Quebec/Prairies/West Coast/ Territories. 2) because of our diverse landscape different races are attracted to different areas. I have not studied this impact on our racism and political issues but would love to see someone like you do so. It appears to me that immigrants are disproportionately gathered along the US/Canada border and big cities, particularly east and west coast. First Nations are disproportionately populated in Rural and northern areas where resources overall are less available to all races. I would expect to find that this population disbursement would also reflect in our political leadership. For example more populated cities are far more likely to have immigrant own businesses and politicians, In rural and northern communities politicians are more likely to be white because First Nations politicians would be more inclined to work within the First Nations political channels where they can actually do more good for their communities. 3) The diversity that makes up 'white' as a race. It appears to me that Canada historically has been more inclined to attract 'White' races versus other 'colours'. We have large populations of British, Swedish, Irish, Russian, Ukrainian, French, Norwegian, and Polish to name a few. All of which have large diversity in their culture and history but are often classified as 'white'. 4) The massive impact the past 5 + years of politics and world affairs have had on the divisions within Canada. Personally I see and feel far, far more judgements between races, economics and regions than ever before.

    Great video I am Canadian and here there is something that is or may be confusing to foreigners and has to do with terminology. Now the examples you gave may confuse people it is important to distinguish "income tax" that is tax you pay on your revenu and sales tax that like you said are when you are buying a product. Depending on the province they are around 13-15%. There are many other taxes that one pays. City taxes. Taxes on garbage, alcohol, when you move to a place, telecomunication taxes etc. So the average Canadian see more thant 50% of his salary go into taxes. Here a good accountant is a must if you want to save some money. And despite taxes healthcare is a total mess, an absurd mountain of stupidity. Canada has many advantages but low taxes are not one of them.

How do we convince the immigration officials who review our visa applications from 3rd world countries that "Hey, after my visit, I will leave peacefully, I have no intentions of remaining as an illegal immigrant and becoming a major burden on my loved ones" I have family in Canada, I will leave the name of the province out (for obvious reasons). All I wanted was to visit my family for a month/30 days and I'd leave, I was gonna travel with my 2 small children and my wife, for a family vacation, that's all that was going to be, but the baffoon who reviewed my application came to the conclusion that I'd end up becoming an illegal immigrant :

    We're a bit racist eh? So it's going to be hard for some people to visit family over others and we usually use the US's views and refuse what they do, so we can see the problem with that. Canada is just shit, I don't get how people think it's great. I've been here 55 years now, it's shit! Our money laundering based economy (hence is very poor, and canada wide, largest operation in the world) improved a bit once we got immigration open and actually provided careers to those with the international qualifications. How economies are supposed to grow. Canada got realestate cancer instead. Now we dont accept much immigrants unless we want them to do menial work, not what they were educated for so we're back to being super poor (laundered money can't stay where it's laundered unless it's a condo property here...) also some of the worse rates of homelessness in the world surrounded by empty condos. Many are immigrants who are homeless. All my taxes for literally nothing. I get health care, once, for half an hour, every two and a half years. My taxes go to money laundering, all of our taxes do. Canada is shit.

I only think about my 2 kids who were so excited about going to see their grandparents and their uncle in Canada😢 God forbid should a family emergency arise, I can't even be there for my parents or my brother because Canada already decided that I'm an Illegal immigrant or an asylum seeker and they will never issue me a tourist visa.

    The fundamental problem with Canada and this also applies to many other advanced economies is that housing costs have been allowed to skyrocket.High immigration in combination with low interest rates and certain tax breaks and buyer incentives have all combined to cause this.What this means is that the average citizen is now paying too much out of their income in either rent or house repayments and this reduces spending in the rest of the economy and is a relatively wasteful use of capital so wealth creation has also declined.Australia,New Zealand the UK and Netherlands and parts of the US have also fallen into this vortex.

After 3 visits over the last few months for my 2 children my opinion is that the health care delays are more due to complacency and a lack of focus on efficiency than anything else. On our last visit, the comment from a nurse was "today's 8 hour wait is not bad, last week it was 15 hours". That shows how there is a general acceptance of mediocrity here.

This is shocking at first until you get used to it, if you ever do... income taxes are also similar, filing tax reports federally and in some cases by province or state. FYI, for folks with multiple jobs, one should be able to complete a tax form so their employer does not take the personal tax exemption. means lower pay but less surprise come tax time.

    I can say that it wasn't always like this in Canada. In the 60s, 70s, and into the 80s no one cared what you looked like, but the difference was we were all the same culture for the most part, even if we had different skin colour - then the concept of multiculturalism began, and it has started a trend toward balkanisation, with many people only interacting with their own communities, and in fact some participating in protests on the street which have nothing to do with Canada. I think some of the propaganda we see by the mainstream media fuels this divide because it is always one sided, with questionable accuracy. For example, if you look at Toronto's most wanted, how is that list our fault? Crimes that were almost unheard of when I was a kid are now a regular occurrence. There are people who have been welcomed in who openly state that they hate the west (see Younus Kathrada - "wishing someone Merry Christmas is worse than murder") for example, and Said Rageah "Evils of disunity." At this point I would gladly move to Europe, but most of those countries have also changed for the worse; just check travel advisories to Sweden, Germany, France, Belgium, and the UK on the government of Canada website.

    It is impossible to live in Canada when you are retired. My wife's pension(starting next year) and my current one amounts to about $3.000, while the average rent for a one bedroom apartment goes up to $2000. While we don't pay for prescribed medicines, as retirees, still we have to deal with utilities,clothing,food and transportation, let alone anything else, with the little left from our pensions. Moving to a smaller city (we presently live in Toronto), involves the purchase of a car since good transportation is non existing in smaller towns.Cost of cars, insurance, fuel and taxes will make the move to a "cheaper" place to vanish in no time. This once an amazing nation is becoming less and less attractive, even to younger people with a solid education. Soon enough this one will be an empty country bringing more immigrants whom will have to live like sardines in tiny apartments; only time will tell for how long this approach will last. In the end the so called third world countries will be full of retired people and young ones trying to make a decent living. Winter on its own is something we all tolerate in here, for obvious reasons, but living like crap it is not in the plans of anyone. Greetings from Toronto.

    I agree. My mom and her husband cannot retire in Canada. They moved to Europe ( my mom is from Italy) and now they can afford a decent life ( good food, travel etc). I agree about the rent, is very expensive for those are retiring and for those who are still working. Also, professional jobs are mostly for Canadian ( but if you have social connections maybe you will find a good job). At the same time, life here is safe and for me everything works well.. But i see more and more homeless and more young homeless as well. Not sure which is the future of Canada but in my case probably move to Italy. Even I prefer Canada but life is very expensive

    The wait time for my specialist appointment which was upgraded to urgent is 8-12 months. In my home country I can be seen in 2 days if I pay for the visit which is relatively affordable. Here, there is no alternative. Every single time you have a problem it’s a nightmare. I know multiple MDs(literally) from my home country who would come here to practice medicine but the red tape is insane and exorbitantly expensive. I’m in Ottawa.

    That is correct. While you wait 8 months to see the specialist, that wait can for many mean you life! Canada is no first world country.

    Demand high and service providers low. How do you think government paper pushers, doctors, lawyers and engineers maintain their lavish life? Only the few rich well connected immigrants can break through.

    Thanks for sharing! Could you make a video about pension system in Canada? If it depends on salary and number of years worked. Does the savings come from taxes for retirement or does the government pay some standard amount regardless of earnings? etc.

    There are 3 pension systems in Canada. There is the federal old age security (OAS), the CPP or QPP (Canadian Pension Plan for all provinces except Quebec, where it's the Quebec Pension Plan), then there are private pensions such as RRSP that you invest in yourself or pension plans at work. OAS is given to all canadians, regardless of past earnings. However if you are a recent immigrant, a calculation is made based on how many years you have resided in Canada. CPP/QPP benefit is calculated based multiple factors: how much you contributed to it, how high your salary was, and how many years you contributed (government automatically takes the required contributions through taxes). So if you had no salary earned, you won't benefit from this. Private pension is of course based on how much you invested or how much the employer decided to pay your pension.

    Great content on your channel, I’m 53 and my wife and I reached $1M net worth in 2017, five years later it’s $2.4M. Our yearly salary is a little over $100K. We drive older cars, cook at home, eat leftovers, and have 2 in college. We saved for college and our boys help by working. They will graduate debt free.

    Some of these points are so spot on. Doctor's who only communicate by phone, difficult to move money across the border, overpriced phone plans - living in Canada you wouldn't even notice this because it's always been this way, but coming from a developed nation like in Europe it's really stark.

    The law in Québec applies to all religious symbols and has nothing about it that specifically targets Muslims. Wanting our public servants in positions of authority to not show allegiance to any religion is a legitimate endeavour and has nothing to do with discrimination, just like preventing them from wearing political symbols is not discrimination either.
