​@@ahhmm5381 No, big businesses do not rule, the government rules. Government that pass laws benifiting big business do so for their own benefit. If the government - or particular politicans and administrators in governemnt - didn't personally gain from these kinds of laws and regulations, they would not pass them. The government wields the hammer, not big businesses. I find it odd that you meantion corporate taxes, but to be fair, my comment was focused on the commerse side of things. Although I'm not against cutting corporate taxes, that isn't what I would suggest to address this issue at all. As for taxes, I would cut property taxes. Canada has one of the most highest property taxes in the world and it's on the rise. I'd cut income taxes too. (Yes, these taxes effect the business sector too, as it is difficult for people to start new businesses when their income is bogged-down by high taxes) As for red-tape and regulation, that varies across industires and markets and provinces. But for starters, the cost of business licences should be cut. Also, all rent control laws should be abolished. Rent control disincentivises potential enterpreneurs from constructing new housing, not only causing stortages, but it actually makes it more difficult for affordable housing to be available. In addition, the approval process to build in Canada is way too long, often taking years to complete: this also discourages businesses from building, especially when prices for building materials isn't stable (which is the case today). This is part of the red tape that needs to be slashed. There is much more that needs to be done, but I'm not writing an essay for you.

​@@drzerogi How does lowering the corporate tax rate benefit the government? Or allowing the Rogers-Shaw merger? High property taxes seems more a symptom of high property values as opposed to the actual tax rate. Sure, you could lower the tax rate, but this doesn't solve the bigger issue of ludicrous property valuations, which totally bars young people from owning any property. As for business licenses, aren't these usually 200 - 800$/yr? Is this really that backbreaking? Removing rent control will solve nothing. It is already gone for new buildings in Ontario you know. No developer profits from a glut in housing, only the consumer. It is the government that needs to build affordable housing, as was done in the post-war period I do agree the approval process is kinda nuts in some municipalities. Cities also have horrible single family zoning rules that needs to change.

As an international student going to Vancouver for university back in 2013, it was already bad then. I was astounded how many old buildings in Downtown Vancouver were being demolished in lieu of new land for apartment towers that promised "affordable housing" for the neighbourhood's old displaced residents, students or low income families. And yet these projects would end up being being rented out at a premium. Lots of shiny glass-fronted buildings for the few who could afford a place in them. Eventually I was lucky to find a basement studio south of the city center. After months of struggling to juggle my university expenses, services and rent (and the rain!) I couldn't take it anymore and noped out back to my country to finish my studies. Stupidly enough too, my parents and I got a student loan from my country's government by mortgaging our house to the bank (horrible idea, I regret it every day) to go to study to Canada in the first place. I didn't use it all up, but long story short I'm now paying that loan back monthly. Still: even having to pay a monthly mortgage to recover the family home, it's still WAY cheaper than the total cost of living per month in Vancouver. Hell, it's even cheaper that just the rent by itself - and I'm talking about 2013 prices for a basement studio in the suburbs. Funny how life's plans change, in this case for the better (or at least making it not as bad as it would've been otherwise). My country might be a mess of it's own too, but I'm constantly thankful I'm not in BC anymore - even more so now that it's gotten worse. The city and Canada in general are beautiful, it's just that the "living" there isn't really living at all.

Canada may not be going through the best times, but this video is oddly biased and contains some misinformation. 1) Right from the start, the first 15 seconds aren't 100% clear or transparent. While people in Canada do vote in federal elections, they are not voting directly for the Prime Minister. They are voting for Members of Parliament (MPs) from various political parties. The leader of the party that can command the confidence of the majority of MPs in the House of Commons becomes the Prime Minister. So it's not like people vote for one man, and that man then is solely responsible for everything good or bad. 2) Then you point at Sean Fraser with the "this guy" caption. This guy only recently became a housing minister, less than a year ago, you know. There's a whole government, and ministers change; it's not like some minister was "under-investing" for years. That's not how it works. And this new guy actually already negotiated a $4 billion investment for 750 thousand homes. I am not judging if that's enough or not, but it doesn't look like "nothing has been done" either. 3) Not everyone wants to buy a home... in Austin, TX. That's why the price difference. Similarly, there are lots of places in Canada where houses are way more affordable than in Austin. No one forces anybody to live in Vancouver or Toronto! House prices are influenced by supply and demand dynamics mainly. Take any other major big city in the world - same situation or worse. 4) Immigration is required to cover labor shortages (not only in Vancouver) and maintain the growth of economics (and create more jobs subsequently). Reducing immigration levels might alleviate housing pressure only marginally and it's unlikely to solve the housing crisis. Also, many people don't realize that without immigration, economic growth could stagnate, leading to fewer jobs and increased poverty, despite potentially lower housing prices. And who would build more houses if there's no demand? 5) As for the carbon tax - people get rebates. Hundreds of dollars as direct payment from the government. On a regular basis. So no need to complain about the carbon tax; that thing is quite balanced now. 6) Now about those banking fees compared to the UK and Australia. I can't say anything about the UK, but in Australia, banks seem to be way more greedy. In Canada, you can get 2-5% cashback on groceries, gas, etc. I'm talking unlimited cashback. And what about the banking fees? Typically a $16 CAD/month fee which is usually COMPLETELY WAIVED if you keep money in their savings account. Now go try to find something similar in Australia. You'd be surprised. Cashback is usually tiny and limited there.

The government's response is to cut down on international students by 35% and temporary workers by 19%, while also focusing on building more housing. But, that's not gonna happen overnight. These steps could have been taken earlier so I agree, it seems like a miscalculation. It will be all right eventually, I don't think the 'this country is doomed' vibe is justified.

Canada hid its inflation in the housing market for a decade. The economy appeared to be growing, and real wages appeared to be staying in line with the consumer price index, but it was smoke and mirrors. If you removed real estate, GDP was stagnant. Wages were actually falling behind and people getting poorer and poorer without realising it. That’s finally become unsustainable, and inflation is showing up everywhere. And the wages are still stuck. The country is sitting on hugely valuable resources it could develop had it not put so many self-created political barriers in the way, and having indoctrinated their population about it along the way. Separately, The healthcare system is getting worse, consistently ranking 2nd last in the OECD in terms of real results delivered. The biggest problem is that the country’s economy is built on immigration to drive growth, rather than productivity, efficiency, or innovation. The more people you bring in, the more housing you need, but they’re at the point that they can’t keep up and people can hardly afford housing anyways. It’s a recipe for disaster. I left Canada by coincidence, having met someone from another country and moved there. I’m glad I left.

What do you mean by “real estate”? Not enough houses are bing built more so than anything. As for the natural resources that’s actually a problem because it removes investment in tech which is bad for long term growth. Additionally the resource sector is growing. For heath care on performance Canada tanks 8th of performance (ahead of France and the US). The reason housing is more expensive is due to inadequate supply as housing increasingly becomes an investment vehicle instead of a consumable, more so than increased demand. The immigration is not the problem, the lack of investment especially in tech is the problem. Canada need to strengthen intellectual property rights to help fix this, and provide additional incentives.

Born and raised Canadian and lived 22 years of my life in Canada. Left Canada in 2005 and till this date, zero regrets. I went for an academic internship in 2004 during my Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering to University of Texas Austin. A professor offered me a position in his research lab for master's, so it was more like studying in US free of cost and earning monthly stipend for doing research. I never considered this as permanent move but quality of research I did in US, the opportunities and salary I received I could never imagine that in Canada. I am still in touch with my university friends in Canada work at low wages on obsolete tech stuff, with no innovation at work. Many of them want to move to the US, but for 10+ years they worked on outdated stuff, so they cannot compete with the talent pool in US. Even in 2004, I remember healthcare being bad and I keep hearing stories about how worse it has become. In US, I am covered by a good health insurance, I had surgeries for myself and my kids, and we never had any issues. Honestly, I can no longer trust Canadian healthcare with insane wait times for my kids safety.

There are lots of aspects of life that will be generally easier in the US, but health care is not one of them. A quick story: I live in the suburbs of Toronto. Last year I was given a "FIT" test (to screen for colon cancer), which was abnormal so a colonoscopy was warranted, which revealed a malignant mass, which was biopsied, ultimately revealing I had colon cancer. Within a week I had a CT scan to ensure the cancer was only in my colon and, less than three weeks later, surgery (right hemicolectomy). So the total wait time was extremely reasonable. I mentioned this to a very close friend of mine. He is a doctor, practicing in Virginia. He was amazed that I had no symptoms yet it was detected, and all my tests and surgery didn't cost a cent, and that it was taken care of so quickly. Maybe your insurance would have covered you too, but that certainly wouldn't be the case for every barista and Walmart greeter in the US. And it would be hard to get any surgery scheduled faster than that, in any country. By the way, since last week I'm cancer free for one year! WooT!!! Go, Canada ... now if I could be as enthusiastic about everything else up here! I will be retiring in 8 months, and moving stateside.

Excellent video. Really liked the focus on the economics and business side of things in this level of depth. Subscribed

Correction: Vancouver, while facing extreme difficulties due to a lack of affordable high-density housing, is doing a LOT to try and fix this in comparison to other cities in the infrastructure sector. Just over the last couple years, we've had some pretty extreme zoning policy changes, we have a yearly rent increase cap (which backfires once tenants move out, but that's another story) and we're building new transit infrastructure which now, legally, requires only high-density housing build in the surrounding areas. The population growth here has wildly exceeded the amount of housing growth in the last few decades. Not to mention the insufficient wages, high cost of living and a broken healthcare system. Our people are struggling but if you have to live in a city right now, I'd choose the greater Vancouver area. Down the road, I see us improving the most infrastructure-wise out of any Canadian city, which will hopefully benefit social sectors as well.

So thankful to the United States for giving me the opportunity to leave Canada and pursue a better life here. I moved in my mid-20s and couldn't be happier with my decision.

Canada was only colonized by the Europeans for one reason: making money. There's not much here otherwise to attract people. It's too cold in most parts of the country for large-scale settlement, which was apparent even to the first French explorers. But there were extractable resources like furs and timber from which wealth could be made. And that's the dark secret behind Canada: it's a place where the profit motive rules all activity. The only reason nobody noticed this was because the original British settlers were less diverse than the groups that settled the States or Australia, and this gave the Dominion a progressive veneer owing to their cultural cohesion. Those British colonists were mostly Quakers, well known for being more sanguine about profit than other Christians, which dovetailed nicely with British investment in Canadian industries. What's changed is that extraction isn't as profitable anymore because most Canadian industries face heavy competition in their main USA and European markets from other countries. Now, the only lucrative extractable resource is consumption within Canada. Why were four million immigrants brought to Canada? Because they would work the same jobs as native Canadians for lower wages, and therefore would part with larger quantities of the profits of their productivity. Why are rents skyrocketing?Because they offer attractive returns for very little investment. Money laundering? Ditto. And oligolistic market capture is also very profitable. Canada isn't a "post-national" state. It is a colonial remnant dominated by a small, incestuous elite of property owners and money fund managers, abetted by a gold digger Canadian government whose stinginess would ashame both Mr. Krabs and Scrooge McDuck. Changing from the Liberals and Justin Trudeau to the Tories and Pierre Poilievre isn't going to change this and will actually make things worse. Canada has an existential problem without an easy solution.

You said each year 7% leave for the US, but your screenshot shows 0.7%. 7% would be absolutely insane. That's an order of magnitude of difference.

Trudeau gotta go!!! My own employer is receiving government subsidies to hire new comers to Canada. My Canadian co workers are getting fired for bogus reasons so they can hire new comers to Canada.

There's definitely a money threshold in Canada you NEED to make to .... have fun and live well. If you're a lifetime renter, or entry level worker.... it doesn't make sense. My family is established from previous happy decades. But even for us there is stagnation and living on savings (many family members moved back to EU, and I'm thinking of it as I'm fluent in many languages there). Imagine people starting new RIGHT NOW.... makes me sad that most Canadians will never had a backyard. Godspeed everyone.

Canadians vote for the Left on average 60% in every federal election. Canada is NO LONGER a safe place to invest your money. In 2022, Justin Trudeau showed that a Canadian government can seize your bank account and freeze your assets, simply for holding views that the government doesn't approve of. Canadians have also showed themselves to be the world's stupidest voters, putting into office Justin Trudeau three times in a row. Trudeau has gotten his biggest support in the big urban areas, which says something about the intelligence of the big urban areas.

For non-canadian viewers: Technically, there is a very large portion of Canadians have voted conservative but there are certain regions that are more important than others in order to secure seats in parliament meaning our election system is not entirely representative of the Canadian population. Most of those being around Toronto/metropolitan areas.

It's entirely corrupt...

You barely touched on the actual reason... that owners dont want to see the value of their homes lowered. A lack of financial education in the last few generations meant the only asset they had to retire with was their home... and that hasn't changed much.

You've elegantly summarized why we moved to the US several years ago. We were not willing to take on the level of debt required to live anywhere near our family in the GTA. It's just been crazy to watch--home prices rising faster than people could possibly save, price to income ratios stretched to absurd levels, with homes in the GTA often going for hundreds of thousands over asking in high pressure bidding wars--a recipe for terrible decision making. Since leaving, we make far more, our money goes further in general, and there's a bright future for our family. The US has its own significant problems, but it's a great option for Canadians with in-demand skills and high income potential. Amusingly, Canadians may find they can live closer to their families back home by living in border towns than if they were to try to buy in Canada. Not sure how our leadership missed this crisis brewing in plain sight for over a decade, but right now, I don't see any meaningful progress toward fixing the crisis.

@@talktothehandreviews I think you mistake me for someone who absolutely loves the US. I don't. I think many countries have flaws, and it is okay for us to talk openly about this. Canada's problem is that it is losing productivity which can challenge it's economic prosperity in the medium-term (similar to what has happened to Italy or Argentina). However, I strongly believe that this shouldn't be the case and it is a byproduct of poor policy making. I don't think Pierre P will necessarily solve the housing crisis -- in fact, I would go as far as saying he definitely wont. But I do believe he will do many things better than Trudeau, because I would argue that Justin is likely one of the worst PM's when it comes to economics. And that is coming from a guy (me) who is traditionally quite liberal. For example, I know someone who knows Justin reasonably well, and he told me point blank that "Justin might be the dumbest politician I have ever met." This same guy had wonderful things to say about his deputy prime minister. The US healthcare system is an absolute shame. I strongly believe that people should not have to suffer economically for things they cannot control. In fact, I am planning a video on the US healthcare system.
