    Don't come to Canada - we are drowning in inflation and you won't be able to support yourself, you won't be able to earn an income, you won't find housing. Canada has lost it's values, lost it's identity, it's cohesion, it's standard of living. Our healthcare is not healthcare - it's emergency care - and at that - you will wait forever to get it. We are divided, confused, and angry at our lack of leadership. Your foreign education won't be eligible here, your housing will cost you thousands of dollars a month. Our school's don't know what the difference is between education and social/political issues - so expect your child to be subjected to extreme views on norms. Also, get use to supporting full on delusions, and having your teen daughter forced to change with 50 year old men and complete with them too.

    I grew up in Toronto. My ancestors came to Toronto in the 1890s. They carved the stone on the old bank buildings and worked the rail yards. When my Dad was a kid living at Pape and Danforth, it was the edge of the city. He pulled his wagon to the nearby farms and sold produce to the neighbors. Toronto will always be my home, but it has changed and I have changed. I have a large five bedroom house on five acres in central BC. I'm surrounded by towering trees and my mortgage is less than the cost of a modest apartment in TO. I miss some aspects, but I can't see myself going back.

  • @barricadedpurifier
    @barricadedpurifier Рік тому +31

    Reason why those construction projects are never finished is quite simple: If you’re being paid by the hour, you can jeopardize your income by finishing it too quickly. What they’re doing is wringing out as much money from those that contracted them, whether it be private or gov’t. I remember being part of a construction crew and I suggested to my boss, “Hey, we can finish this in one day if we whip out the excavator!” And my boss looked at me and said, “Nah, we’re paid hourly. Let’s bring out the shovels instead. Oh, and don’t forget to be slow and methodical about doing it too.” I was confused at first but then I realized what they were doing but I went along with it because I was kinda naive at the time. It took an entire month doing everything by hand and we took a bunch of breaks and because of that, we got paid a bunch. Had we knocked it out of the park within a few days, we probably wouldn’t have gotten paid as much. It’s pretty scummy, and looking back at it now I’m kinda ashamed. This sort of stuff happens all the time especially in major cities and highways. The politicians that hire these sorts of companies don’t really care because they’re probably friends with the boss and furthermore it’s taxpayer money and never their own. If it was coming out of their own pocket, they might be more apprehensive and cautious, and look at other options, better alternatives but politicians really don’t care because the money that they’re spending is not their own. I remember a story a few years back where a public restroom in NYC took years and millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars to complete. It’s insane. If I found out that it took millions to make one small public restroom, I’d freak out. Any normal person would probably freak out as well. And it spawned a conspiracy theory that alleged that the restroom project was a money laundering scheme.

(Quite a lot of French people 😂) There are lots of construction all the time because of pot wholes and pipes that are broken and it does infact make it more crowded and traffic is unbelievably stressing in the mornings but then in the end everything is fixed for sure not like how you said that in Toronto it never changes and gets worse.

    I remember when my parents who were basically retired moved out of Toronto in the west end Etobicoke to be precise back in 1998 they were paying $650 for a large 2 bedroom apartment that was under rent control where the landlord and owner of that apartment building couldn't raised my parents rent. Not even up a $1. My family was originally from New Brunswick. My parents and brothers and a sister moved to Toronto in 1964, a year before I was born in Toronto of 1965. So, 34 years later of living in Toronto, my parents decided it's time to go back home to Saint John NB. They are both gone now, my parents, but I still remember that apartment they had in Etobicoke of Toronto. So to hear this young man in this video saying it cost $2,600 for a one bedroom apartment astonishes me 😮 Wow ! And I don't live in Toronto either. I moved out of Toronto around the same time my parents moved out. And I haven't lived in Toronto since then.

    Even if the traffic in your commuting area is moving and so much stop and go, the constant stress of thinking every milli-seconds of safety, unexpected road hazzards like A-hole drivers, pot holes, pedestrian, cyclists, "E-Scoots all over the place will drive you crazy in the end.
