It is the same as my old country Scotland. In Scotland they call the country an 80 / 20 nation. Ie. Eighty percent of the people own 20 % of the wealth. Whilst, 20% of the people own 80% of the nations wealth. I have lived half my life in both if these countries and the similarities are staggering.
The reality is that there are very few wealthy people in Canada….10 families is not even a rounding error against 41 million people….What Canada is known for is creating government and private monopolies- telecommunications, food, banking, shipping, transportation, media, teaching, nursing, medicine, police, utilities, transit, city services - highly regulated and taxed by government offering ordinary people few choices and eye watering prices- it’s a quiet alliance between the ruling political parties (who expect financial largesse) and the public sector which gets fat and bloated pretending to oversee it in the public interest….it keeps prices and inflation high and growth and productivity low.
The CBC is a toilet for tax payers hard earned money. Governments and their regulations, high tax demands and openly bias towards immigration from southern hemisphere populations will ensure we all remain in penury and dependence on them for ever.
Who wants to live in Canada high high taxes,high high cost of food, homes, addications,homeless,poor country management,too many people and organizations that have their hands on our taxes,when this money should train,eduacate our people too many outsiders taking full advantage of our system! Get it together Canada to see our Canadian people thrive!
How stupid do you have to be to blame immigrants for the cost of living under a video discussing how a few families own all the wealth in Canada. @@coolwater55
Totally agree ! In Canada the government's and the banks ensure no one but they have access to the cash box. About the only people getting wealthy quick are the drug gangs in Toronto and the Asian property scammers in Vancouver.
They pull the ladder up right behind them. The moment an empire is established, they pay lobbyists to sponsor bills and laws. That make it impossible for anyone to have the same success they have.
Ken collected Kreigoff's like postage stamps. Wish I had wrote him when he was alive, people I know who knew him told me he would have called me and would have told me to come on over. Decades ago i worked in London UK and got to bid at Christie's/Sotheby's got to see alot of stuff that eventually landed up in Ken's collection. He also had a small public gallery in the Simpson arcade.
Kenneth was my neighbour. I lived on Hawthorne in Rosedale and I was always the first to ring his bell on Halloween and he told me I was the smart one.
I’m not impressed with Canada at all. Vancouver is clean but I can tell the government makes it hard on the regular citizens and it appeared to me that they lack freedom- so I’ll pass on the kudos for Canada.
In Canada lot of monopolies from corporotes that are connected to governoment and power but this is everywhere in the world,in some counties it is less in others more .There will never be a golden solution for everything . Yes Canada is expensive but in the other hand safe and the power of the law rule and clean country .Not many countries in the world left like that ,even Europe is downgrading fast .
Canadas infrastructure is still stuck in the 70's with output worse than than the 70's all because of those who continue to justify the effectiveness of inefficiency by saying 'sure were suffering but at least were not suffering as bad as them' This strain of pathetic must be overcome if you wish to see any iota of technological progress. If not you will have to wonder why you have investors capitalizing on this strain of pathetic by introducing 'artifical intelligence' as a replacement for true intelligence. Repent from this state and turn to King Jesus
@@strongfoot2009 I doubt that lol! But they are a privately held corporation, insanely rich, and on the backs of the poorest people in Canada who mistakenly believe they owe everything to this family. Our land, air and water supply gets contaminated by poisonous sprays because they want all the underbrush out of the forests to make their logging easier. They own all the media and overpower anyone who tries to start a newspaper or news company. They don’t pay their fair share of taxes as they hired an American company renowned for under appraising businesses, in order to pay much less taxes than they should. I can go on, but essentially Canada is a haven for the handful of monopoly family businesses who prevent anyone else from entering their elite trillionaire club.
Fiat Money is only one part of success. Being a good human and willing to help others is a very good sign of success. and in my opinion the greatest form of success. Thanks for the video
All I got from this video is if you are driven and educated in your craft and have your family and friends by you, you can achieve and dream high,then your problems get bigger ,now you have to run a country,it's not easy and it's a huge responsibility,now you have to participate in running the world with other families,not easy at all if you consider wellbeing of ordinary(common) people
U could of made this documentary a lot more interesting. Like how their influence and money affect the rest of canada. What are their real goals? Who in politics do they influence? What policies do they back?
Perhaps this British accent speaking narrator got their permission before putting them into this particular spotlight. If he more information was revealed perhaps he’d be offed.
For the record Justin Trudeau has tried to lower grocery store pricing but you can see here what he is up against. The same families that we Canadians have helped to enrich are now turning on us
Oy vey. "Rags to riches"... Ah, how I love the "work hard, and you too can become rich and powerful" stories. Such false hope, as these so called heroes are very well connected to certain lineages. Look into it, you'll find it.
The comments are so negative. This is not the Canada we live in. We pay taxes. We spend. We save. But we value services, peace and prosperity and health care. We all need to work to improve things but lets value what weve got.
You pay taxes to support evil who in exchange offers you a form of 'protection' and you save because your afraid that you wont be able to bring in a substantial income thus you hold back on your requirements, or in other words, you gradually eat off your leg to satisfy your stomach. In this tragedy, all you have to justify its occurrence is your praise and worship to bureaucracy, yet failing to see that your worship of bureaucracy is the cause of your tragedy. Why must you suffer like this? How long will you continue to deny the One who reigns supreme? How long will you hold bureaucracy before Him? How long will you impart your suffering upon your children and neighbors? These are questions that must be answered if you wish to be truly free, not only now but forever
They might control things, they own nothing! All wealth, resources and land belongs to the original inhabitants of the land, so whatever these families think they own, they're gonna have to give it all back eventually, that's the karma that awaits all.
fallacy, this is generational wealth, many people work very hard but can't get ahead due to bureaucracy, taxes and govt policies to restrict opportunity and expansion, this is not an entirely true depiction as the MacKay's who Thompson married are of the wealthy bloodline families, it is the bankers and media that are controlling narratives and the world which makes them complicit in the takeover we are in for global takeover by "the few"
no mention of the Bronfmans ownership of the Montreal Canadiens for a while other than saying Stanley Cup rings were stolen during a burglary. Also Weston did not reduce employees wages during the covid 19 pandemic. For a period of time workers received an increase to their hourly wage due to the added stress they were under.
Jobs? At what expense? Your own education. Just look at some of the canadian grocery chains, the quality of food is abysmal and sold at a premium. So remember you sacrifice true education in order to get these 'jobs' you speak of. True education that would allow you to never worry about money ever again, where your so well taken care of that the only thing left to do is make sure others are just as well taken care of. All of this can only be possible with King Jesus. By repenting from the worship of man, and turning to Him, He opens the door for you to gain knowledge of a higher nature, on how things are meant to be, so that you are not left in a position of 'picking from the lesser of two evils'. Why should you afterall when your value is so much so that King Jesus paid the ultimate price for your freedom, not only now but forever?
@sorinjasoncnd5560 he propped up these elites during covid. Closed small business while allowing these elites to stay open. Offered loans to small business that had to be paid back with interest. Killing many business. While flooding immigrants into the country allowing these companies to exploit workers. Look at many fastfood industries saying Canadians don't want these jobs. Which are lie. My daughter and others could not find summer jobs. This is forcing parents to help their 20 something kids. Further sucking money from middle class. You don't want to get me started on the tax lies and increases. Trudeau will go down as the worst PM in history.
I love Canada since I’ve moved here from Romania in 95. It has offered me so much and it wasn’t hard : education, great jobs, great life , stability and a good future, great house investment… I live in Toronto . I think that it is the greatest place to live everywhere. The country is on ever more developing path. New infrastructure, new and upgraded hospitals, schools, greatest universities after the big US, low unemployment, great renewable economy and energy sources, great wether (not hot), unlimited resources, peace and stability. Also, there is very low (under the radar ) racism, people being rewarded on their education and their abilities. There is virtually no corruption and people are very highly civilized, the country is free and highly democratic. All minorities are being respected and they have all the rights. The country is always improving and working on solving the issues which may arise, but no place is perfect…
@@falsepositive4357 the first commenter said 'great house investment'. That's all you need to hear to know that he's now well off, probably because he was LUCKY. He became one of the 'haves'. Anyone who lives in Toronto and doesn't own a house (generally those under 30 today) is a 'have not' and will have a very different view. Canada has sold the futures of its youth to fund retirements and vacations for baby boomers. This is the reality.
@@natheayn6111 The hardships that the youngest these days are not easy due to expensive housing problem but it does not just happening in Canada, it's a global problem. When compared to the rest of the world, Canada is far better off.
Canada started out as a corporation owned land (the bay) and continues to be so just in a different form. There's no way to make money here. Its made for people to bring money here. A good reason to be here is if in your own country you have nothing to eat or if a bullet is chasing you. Otherwise, your life is one big bloor where everything you make you spend.
Interesting. 2 of my adult now chidlren and 2 of my grandchildren now too can say they have a grandmother in their family tree with the maiden name MacKay. Is that why their one grandfather (or great grandfather) who married her, once got told that he was from an English family background which made him feel baffled while saying to us that was not true? How some people define what it means to be wealthy is not the same way other people do. Which is maybe why I saw on Facebook a notification rant about how he resents having to work at all for a living while others do not when saying they are in need. A rant which Elon Musk allegedly wrote.
Canada is owned by basically 10 wealthy families Bronfman Thompson Pattison to name a few. Alot of wealth going to only a few
