This paints a nice romantic picture of Canada, but it's not a true reflection of how life is there. First of all, the government is extremely inefficient. Their social benefits programs are overly complex, and impossible to understand. The government uses all kinds of weird, unusual terminology for all its programs. It just doesn't make any sense, everything on the government's website is complete, and utter gobbledygook. It's extremely expensive to live there. The selection of food products available at the supermarket, are very limited compared to the United States or Europe. Try getting to see a doctor there! It's practically impossible. You go to urgent care, they have no doctors, then tell you to call the main office in town, so you can call everyday for a week and you can't get through, when you finally get through they have no appointments available, and tell you to call back first thing in the morning, then you repeat the whole process. again, and you still can't get a doctor. Go to the hospital they say, yeah if you want to wait 10 hours. Who has that kind of time? I'll give you an example. This is a typical interaction with government departments. We had rodents in our brand new apartment building. Nobody wants to deal with it, nobody wants to take responsibility. So I called the City Hall, they say they don't deal with it, so they give me another number for the tenancy dispute people, I call them, oh we don't deal with that kind of thing, they give me the number for the animal control, I call them, they don't deal with this and give me the number to some kind of sanitation health department, I call them, they don't deal with rodents unless they're out in public areas, they tell me to call the tenancy department, I call them again, play give me the number for some kind of legal service, run by government lawyers. I call them, leave them a message, no reply. I called back, I can't even get the answering machine, I think they blocked my number. In regards to immigration, what you'll see when you go there, is Indian people, and Asians. Whites and other cultures are going to be minorities there, within 20 years. We've been there since last August, and we are leaving. Yes the nature is amazing, yes the people are very polite, but the cost of living, the overly complicated government system, it's a serious put off. Think twice if you are considering moving there. I would recommend you go to Europe, or the United States. Don't say I didn't warn you!
You're absolutely right. Every country experiences ups and downs over time. Economic fluctuations, political changes, social developments, and various other factors contribute to these fluctuations. It's important for governments, businesses, and individuals to adapt and navigate through these changes, striving for resilience and progress despite the challenges that may arise. Flexibility and innovation are key in facing the inevitable shifts that occur in any country.
