As a Canadian, this is a dumb list

Canada is a land with great resources, great opportunity and potential, but for a place with so much supposedly smart people they do alot of dumb things. Been here 7 years now and I have seen so many issues that have obvious solutions but because of some weird culture or heritage or whatever they just keep doing the same thing until it hurts them. The real estate market is an absolute MESS and everybody knows. Money laundering, realtors colluding to set prices, blind auctions etc you name it. But they are just gonna keep doing the same thing until the country is in a major recession. Then everybody is going to be crying for bailouts. The health system is a MESS. Trying to find a doctor is like finding a needle in a haystack. They have them driving taxis instead, claiming that their qualifications arent as good. Yet they dont have enough doctors or nurses to support anything. Coworkers whose spouses work in those industries let me know they have to be working ridiculous shifts because there are not enough people. The taxes are ridiculous. I work in I.T. and taxes are like roughly half my salary. Many coworkers have told me all the illegal stuff they do to get around the taxes. Which I don't do because I wasn't raised like that. But people get taxed so much everyone is doing some thing to try to bypass it. And if you dont know the tricks or dont want to do them, you just get screwed. People don't talk about real issues here. There is alot of fake positivity and optimism because they dont want people to get sad and suicidal from the really long and harsh winter. I used to wonder why there were so many train delays until some one explained to me that many people commit suicides in winter by stepping in front of the trains. The only thing propping up this country is the constant influx of immigrant slave labour through the college system, (Like a ponzi scheme). But the immigrants are going to stop coming here if they cant even afford to live at all. Even the regular citizens cant afford it. So what will the country do after that, since there is an elderly population and not enough people to support the industries? Right now most of the immigrants come here and save up there money to go somewhere else or back home after they realize what a shitshow it is. I even have coworkers born and raised in Canada who are telling me they want to leave. Canada needs to stop patting itself on the back for doing stupid apologies and stuff like that, and actually do economically sound things to stop digging themselves into this hole. Great potential for this country but I don't know if it will ever be realized.

Fire this guy for abuse harass.no rights to shout at any wat a dumb guy

If you leave Canada you’re dumb

I am a British Columbian who briefly lived in Quebec, when the army posted me there for basic, I have to say Quebec is horrible, outside of Montreal, if you do not speak French. I also spent 5 years in Alberta & I would rank Alberta as number ☝️ of all of Canada’s provinces. \n\nThat all being said, I am sick of this country’s politics. I deeply regret serving this country due to how badly our current PM has treated us veterans, only PM to ever sue veterans & make massive cuts to veterans support funding. Furthermore, he is most corrupt in our history, & easily the least democratic or respectful to our laws and/or constitution… yet he has been re-elected TWICE!… because… reasons ??‍♂️ I do not know how dumb you have to be to vote liberal given Trudeau’s horrible track record on a laundry list of issues. I am personally done with this country, you stab veterans in the back & reward those who did the backstabbing… yeah, I’m out, bye. No one should be bothered with serving Canada, not worth it!!!

See how Canada doesn’t have this dumb labeling system the US has. White, black , Asian lol ? racist much

Dumb behaviour

She really doesn't feel dumb at all? No self awareness. What an unpleasant undesireable

This guy is so dumb eh realy thinks Asians are the problem of the virus

Ok this guy is being dumb

Ok this guy is being dumb

Ok this guy is being dumb

who ever think hitting women is cool it really dumb.

Don’t you agree with me the guy/nerd is fking dumb if he thinks rhat she has corona n he still tryna go near to her n get himself infected hahaha

Is he dumb is his parents raise him well?

OMG cant believe this, and i thought bigots like terrorists, criminals, murders, rapists were the real problem, thanks for opening my eyes, dumb ignorant people making embarrassing assertions is the biggest threat to society. Does anyone have a clean set of sheets for me?

You know that guy is dumb asf cause he calls her go back to China when the woman is actually Filipino. You know racist people are dumb.

LOL this is so dumb, asking people in a store if they need help has nothing to do with Racism! \n\nAs a white person i been asked that a million times, i guess that racism? LOL

USA and Canada are the same country. Except Canada has a lot more snow in the winter and a lot less dumb people!

Because Canada is a dumb country but they don’t wanna admit that, and they’re supposed to be “nice” to everyone so there you go.

Im Canadian so i cant be racist how dumb can a person be

this is dumb.......social experiments are dumb and inaccurate

This is wrong thinking we all need to pull our money out of usa banks and go back to our countries cause revolutions to make them better than here so we can all live a better racist and stress free life and give tourist from here the same medicine as they gave us here see how they like it. is time to stand up as Latinos and pick up our balls or else we always gonna be view as dumb asses and outsiders.

What makes me laugh is the guy thinks he can come to Canada for house, job, food, clothing, with the whole fam damily\nand presto everything is great. Geez how many Canadians have 15 grand saved up. We have many people living on the\nstreets here as is. If I were rich I would find a street person that was willing to work and help him, first.\nTrudeau is a dumb ass that thinks he's Santa Claus with our hard earned tax dollars.

By her dumb logic, she should go back to Europe, wherever her grand parents' ship arrived from.

This is dumb...,

What the hell they arrested a 11 year old that's dumb

What was the point of the test? is CBC too dumb to realize? Racism still exists and it always will.

For the shopping experience, they have the guys go in carrying hand bags. That's going to get their attention since shoplifters could easily put things into the bags and most people don't bring computer bags, hand bags etc when they shop.\n\nI've had instances where people were awful to me for no apparent reason (I'm white), and it struck me that if i was black, I would attribute the terrible treatment to racism since I couldn't think of any other reason for the bad treatment. \n\nAnother form of racism not covered here is the racism of low expectations. If people assume that you are too dumb to understand something or too poor to afford something, that's wrong. Same holds true for treating women as if they won't understand. Usually this behavior is done, not by bad people, but by people who just haven't had a lot of interactions with different people of different races. So they haven't had the chance to have those stereotypes personally disproven.

Beards are inate triggers to adult human males. When men are clean shaven, that state subconsciously indicates juvenile status of which animals are more tolerant. This has been studied with other species besides humans. Adult status triggers adult status which triggers territoriality. These are older studies that I read about in the Scientific American when it was an adult publication rather than dumbed down as it is now.

They’re not happy in Gaza …\nThey’re not happy in Egypt …\nThey’re not happy in Libya …\nThey’re not happy in Morocco …\nThey’re not happy in Iran …\nThey’re not happy in Iraq …\nThey’re not happy in Yemen ….\nThey’re not happy in Afghanistan ….\nThey’re not happy in Pakistan …\nThey’re not happy in Syria …\nThey’re not happy in Lebanon …\nSO, WHERE ARE THEY HAPPY?\nThey’re happy in Australia …\nThey’re happy in Canada ..\nThey’re happy in England …\nThey’re happy in France ..\nThey’re happy in Italy ..\nThey’re happy in Germany …\nThey’re happy in Sweden ..\nThey’re happy in the USA …\nThey’re happy in Norway ..\nThey’re happy in Holland …\nThey’re happy in Denmark …\nBasically, they’re happy in every country that is not Muslim and unhappy in every country that is!\nAND WHO DO THEY BLAME?\nNot Islam.\nNot their leadership.\nNot themselves.\nTHEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN!\nAND THEN- They want to change those countries to be like,\nTHE COUNTRY THEY CAME FROM WHERE THEY WERE UNHAPPY!\nExcuse me, but I can’t help wondering…\nHow dumb can you get.

What a dumb test, it in of it self is subjective to the people who designed it.

Then why don’t you have a guy wearing a mask over his face people might not be favorable to masks it doesn’t mean it’s racism at the mask everyone for the test again no control to your experiment you’re dumb just like I may get treated differently if I have a biker outfit on then a suit and a tie it doesn’t mean it’s racism or clean-shavenVersus a beard

Totally in accurate Raury walked in carrying a bag they always watch people carrying bags or backpacks and you’re calling it racism LOL no control to your experiment you’re dumb

Those totally covered women are dumb and brainwashed

Of course it's wrong and people are dumb for thinking and acting this way. But, this is human nature. We evolved to be wary of outsiders because at one time it served us as a species. Take any race and put them in any other country where they aren't the majority and this will happen. Acceptance of all is still new to us

I feel so dumb for believing that Canada doesn’t have racism

being black is not a race you dumb fucks...

You Christian and so dumb and denial. I can't believe the guy saying Islam is terrorism and all. U idiot terrorism is not our religion go read our scripture. The more u r pressing Islam the more becoming in numbers. Inshallah
