      It’s very true. This city is growing so fast I feel like I go to Halifax and see a new building I never saw before. All the new development really makes the city look modern. My only concern is that there has been very little infrastructure changes to support this growth. Congestion will only get worse if they don’t start making some changes to the highways!

    Victoria, BC is an expensive place to live, at least for home owners. And where to find work that pays enough to thrive there.
    As an Albertan, Calgary has become an unrecognizable because of its growth since the 1980's. It has an incredible urban sprawl and has grown expensive. It has a very large immigrant population, that progresses well.
    Edmonton, 3 hours north is far more lively, interesting and more welcoming; and probably more jobs.

    Hello! I found your video very informative and I was wondering if I could ask for your opinion on life insurance. I'm new to this country and I've heard mixed opinions about it. Some people say that it's absolutely normal to have life insurance, while others say it's a scam and should be avoided. I'm not sure what to believe, so I wanted to hear your thoughts on the matter. Apologies for asking an unrelated question, but I hope you can help me understand better. Thank you!

    • @MakeThatChange
      @MakeThatChange  Рік тому +1

      Personally I would not recommend buying life insurance. Many employers have private insurance as part of compensation package, it also includes life insurance in many cases.
      Life insurance could make sense in case you’re a bread winner for the family, or have big debts, and you want to make sure that should anything happen, your family is well taken care of at least a bit….
      Even if something happens, it may be a huge headache to actually qualify for the benefits, because insurance companies will always look for any fine print or excuse why your specific case is not covered.
      That’s our personal opinion, but I recommend you talk to a life insurance advisor and see what they say, just out of curiosity.

    I was talking to my mom the other day and we were talking about how Niagara falls is such an under developed city It has one of the 7 wonders of the world but has a population of around 100k with all the tourism they could have easily made Niagara falls a booming city but all the housing is suburban style and there is no apartment buildings the only tall buildings are hotels and casinos and such let's also not forget all the amazing waterfront properties in the area the boulevard is covered in mansions I feel like Niagara falls is just a ton of wasted potential

      If you are defining it by the Greater Metropolitan Area, than Toronto would be closer to 9-10 million. Therefore, it would still be larger than Dallas, Houston or Philadelphia. NY, LA, Chicago, and San Francisco would be larger, so Toronto would be 5th, so not that far off from the 4th position stated in the video.
