I've worked in real estate photography, marketing, video production for 3 decades, I've never been to more houses to take photos where owners share that they can't afford their home anymore, they have to choose between mortgage or food and they opted to leave the country. It's shocking. I feel gutted most days, I'd love to be in a position to help folks like that. It's undeniable that things have changed. Even my family is looking into moving. The rat race is exhausting, shouldn't have to work 7 days a week to survive. I don't know what the answer is but I don't feel at home anymore and if you'd had asked me that a few years ago I'd have said you're crazy.
Canada since the 1990s, has lacked quality jobs. It's been deindustrialized, forcing too many overly educated to chase the few number of quality jobs. And it's harder to start a business now, with too many regulations, and the banks won't lend.
Love this video and love you too, brother. Keep staying strong . You are a beacon of fantastic imagination! Your respect for Canada surpasses a lot of natural born citizens.

Candian government does not lay down a mandatory Canadian orientation and Cultural education process, even at such surge rates of migration. Not knowing Canadian values, the newcomers hang together and do what they know from their own culture. Slow and steady migration 25 years ago was more practical.
All the safety nets that supposedly existed and that i paid for failed the test when i needed them during a time when a tyrannical government was en-forcing me to take a medical experiment. That broke my heart and I wanted to leave. But i'm still going to stick around because we need to make this place better.
Could you please provide the demographic and statistical data that led to the unequivocal conclusion that 'everyone is leaving Canada'? From my understanding, there are no reputable studies or rigorous analyses supporting this claim, apart from potentially politically charged comments found on social media platforms like Facebook. Can you help clarify this assertion with credible evidence? Or maybe the point of this video is just political posturing that uses irrational Facebook post made by people that can barely write two sentences that don't contradict each other?
Canada just needs the over a million "Temporary residents" to leave so we can have our homes back, the federal Liberal government is driving the middle class into poverty.
As an international student, there are no jobs, not even for Canadian citizens. I went there with false promises of a better life. Thankfully, I come from a well-off family, so they could receive me back debt-free. My country is not in the best condition either... but at least the unemployment rate is at 2% and our private healthcare is not too expensive. I got sick while living in Canada and I had to wait in the emergency room for more than 5 hours... just to have a poor check up and the diagnosis was that I was fine, when I was not. Here in my country, for the same monthly rent I was paying for a 2m square room, you can live in an entire apartment for 4 months.
Emergency rooms are for life threatening emergencies . urgent care is for non life threatening urgent care. Out patients is for a situation that requires tests or exrays. Walk in clinics are for people with no family doctor . learn triage system you wont wait 5 hours
@@cpaton1284 You cannot visit a drop-in clinic if you don't have a family doctor in Ontario. My partner has been without a family doctor for 20 years, because his died. He's been looking, but there are few to no doctors taking new patients. Even my own doctor wouldn't take on my spouse, (when that used to be a normal thing in her practice), simply because she already has too many patients. If you don't have a doctor, basically your only recourse is to go to emerg, or put up with whatever is ailing you. Canada health care sucks, considering the outrageous taxes we pay to have it.
Canada has had a terrible healthcare system for decades. So many Canadians are either refused healthcare or die on waiting lists. Our healthcare system is 3rd world quality, but it costs us 1st world money in the taxes we pay. It's a totally corrupt system that puts bureaucrats ahead of patients.
Why is everyone leaving Canada? Oh my, will we be empty soon? "I went there with false promises of a better life." Agreed, much of said 'better life' depends on a persons perspective. I wouldn't want to wait in an emergency room either; it's not the place if you are just sick, as you found out. Sadly there are people arriving with injuries worse than yours, harsh inconvenience having to wait as they get treated I'm sure. And obviously they were fine, fine enough to be here complaining about it, yes? Too bad they didn't have a family doctor instead of relying on the public system :)
3 weeks back I went to the hospital with a severe pain. I could not wait till Monday to see my doc. I was 5 min in the waiting room. They took me in, asked some questions, arranged for x-ray and ultrasound and scheduled an OR. 6 hrs after arriving I was back home minus a septic gall bladder. Money never changed hands except for the taxi. In the US, I would now be bankrupt. You couldn't pay me enough to move to the US.
There is a lot of immigration because they are all potential Liberal voters. Moreover, it's a cheap way to raise the GDP, even if it impoverishes everybody.
Surpassed the United States in 2019 to have the world's wealthiest middle class. Second only to the United States to have the best performing economy in the G7. Always rated in the top ten countries for practically every metric measuring human well-being and always at the top or near the top as being the best country in the world in which to live. Canadians regarded as the most respected people in the world. Problems!? Of course but overall not too shabby.

Ah yes, I heard the same thing when Canada admitted all those Muslims from Syria. A year later during all the wildfires those Muslims had donation centres set up to help the displaced. (News Item: "Syrian refugees assist Canada’s wildfire victims") Yes, immigrants are the problem.
The problem with "we should take care of our own first," is that it mischaracterizes the issue and presents a false dichotomy. We have enough to support our own and take care of our current immigrants. This isn't about only having the resources to help one or the other. People care about direct and short term costs, but ignore indirect and long term costs. That's the issue. We keep cutting funding to programs for our most vulnerable that more than pay for themselves by reducing indirect and long term costs. Homelessness is a great example of this, with the costs in police and ER expenses alone due to the homeless costing double what it costs to house them. Finland almost entirely eliminated homelessness among their citizens, and they saved a staggering amount of money oing so. We are literally paying more money so that people suffer homelessness. It doesn't help that bad faith politicians say things like "we should take care of our own first" as an appeal to common sense, but they then cut funding to programs that benefit Canadians as well as those that benefit immigrants, because the reality is they don't care about either. It's just a catchphrase to keep people in the dark about the real nature of the problem, and to shift the blame away from their own policies by scapegoating immigrants.
It's too bad that people like you can't be charged directly for supporting our excessive volume of immigrants. Let me guess, you're "well off", own your own house (or maybe a few) which makes you a typical Trudeau supporter who is blind to the hardships of actual Canadians.
If we're cutting funding then how come the funding is going up? You can look up the budgets yourself online, they're going up. Just like our taxes, every single year, and our government debt. All while this funding and taxes have increased, the services all have gotten worse. Have you noticed that every time the government starts to deal with a problem they make it worse? Healthcare, housing, military, natural resources, heck, you can pick anything in Canada, because the government controls everything.
