I am 66 , I had to take my ill wife to emergency at the Peterborough hospital about 3 months ago. After sitting for 2.5 hours in an over crowded emergency room, I asked how much longer before we see a doctor. We were told by a nurse it would be another few hours at least and it could be up to 5 more hours after that to see the specialist she needed. So the wait could be 10.5 hours, we waited 2 more hours, then we got up and left. If we ever go back it will be in an ambulance. But to be honest We are done with this broken, rotting health care system. I blame the bum that has destroyed this country and destroyed the Canadian health care system.

My parents brought me here! Would love to leave, it’s not the same anymore! Watched it become a police state! Etc went from Ontario to Alberta! Now wishing I should have left!

What kind of question is that unreal! The Arab world should support the Palestinians in defending them. Palestinians deserve to return to their homeland, not be left as refugees elsewhere. How would you feel if you were forced to be a refugee in another place? It's only natural for them to want to go back home. Let's work towards a free Palestine! \nVery eloquent good for him

I left in 2006, after. Staying for 6 months. I predicted this scenario then, the govt wants cheap labour, that's the end point.

I left Canada almost 4 years ago. The quality of life outside Canada is much higher and you can actually afford to live a high quality lifestyle. I would never move back to live there full time again. It's too expensive, the taxes are way too high and the quality of life is worse than a 3rd world country. \n\nIf you are currently living in Canada I would suggest to leave as soon as you can and build options in other countries around the world.

Many friends have already left. Starting 4 years ago! When rent went from 1900 to 3100, ouch! We are under attack by a WEF controlled operative. A young global leader stooge that is committing treason

For the last 10 years or so, Toronto has been run and operated by an Extreme Left Wing City Council, bent on an apparent wish to destroy it.

I have people left and right leaving Canada for good, two families left for Russia before New Year and I understand them perfectly.

My parents left Canada with me as a child. In 2014 I moved back to Vancouver. I bought 3 houses in Alberta where homes are cheaper. It was a struggle to survive in Canada. In Alberta the government fines you for not having shoveled the snow on your sidewalk in -40 weather when no one is walking around anyway. The people who rented my houses were all using drugs and a nightmare and protected by laws. The rents in Vancouver are astronomical and shopping very expensive. I sold it all and left in 2021 and now travel the world and make YouTube videos and living the dream and saving a ton of money.

I left and just bought a one way ticket to mars. There I will be remembered and not needing to worry about immigration for a while

I lived in Canada for 14 years, from 1998 to 2013 ,i was the most happiest person while living in montreal ,long story short, lost all my money in montreal casino around 200k ,left Canada for Australia with my wife who was pregnant, start new life wasn't easy here but im ok now , my hear is always in canada , and canadian ,love you montreal

I also returned back to Europe in 2022. I am happy in Netherlands. Plenty jobs and cheaper living. In Toronto before I left, I was paying rent 2400 CAD/month including utilities, for a basement, ridiculous. After almost 15 years living in Canada, I was forced by poor living standards to come back to Europe. I had no more dreams, nothing, just to pay rent, food and car.

18℅ of immigrants left the country over a period of 35 years... \nSeems fair, the numbers are similar to ofher countries. \n\nWhy does the team not work on the brain drain in our own country? \nWhy does our own young people see no hope in our own country

The cops do have a right to have investigated the situation however when he explained the religious significance they should have left

i left concrete form company 2 illion anual sales for freedom im CEO 4 companies now 2 in africa 2 in alberta

Canada is a country full of homeless people, mental illness, and drug addicts who destroy businesses and homes. Does not matter banks, restaurants, and laundromats. Many many many many people are leaving Canada in the thousands. No one left to take care of old people in Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pierre Piolevre needs to address these problems.

I heard many Indian students left UBC because not enough housing and left last year. They got 50 percent of their tuition back.

Yeah, because Canada sucks now! Big time! A laughing stock!\nHuge foreign influence, too much immigration from immigrants NOT assimilating to Canadian culture, HIGH, I MEAN HIGH PRICES FOR A HOUSE!, and the influence and policy making from left-wing politics. No thanks Canada, I'll pass.

I’m a Canadian citizen, and I left because I couldn’t make ends meet. I knew I would never own my own home unless I bought elsewhere. The big cities have blocks and blocks full of homeless people. It’s unlivable unless you are rich or you bought your house decades ago.

Ita too bad things are getting worse but its the last few stable democracies left in the world. I think canada is top 5 for democracies.

Many have left after staying for less than a year. I know several families, personally.

2023 - approx 1 million new folks came in, 424k Actual citizens left . I ask why?

Isn't it interesting how back when Canada was a democracy everyone wanted to emigrate to it, then when Canada became a dictatorship everyone is trying to flee? It's almost like people care for their liberty and don't like being treated as slaves by crazy despots whether they're left or right ?

I left Canada. I live much better in a red state.

I left Canada yesterday forever lol\nI am not lieing trust me

17.5% immigrants arrived between 1982 to 2017 left Canada?. This statement is questionable. Canadian press shows only 1.5 or at most 2% left Canada. From where WION got this news.

I lived in Canada for 13 years, left in 2020 for England. Really sucks because I loved Canada so much but the prices are INSANE. Would love to move back but at this rate idk if that’s happening anymore

Immigrants are leaving for the same reasons Canadian born are leaving. Immigrants are coming over to find the same conditions in Canada as when they left their country.

Already left

Net zero zealots and left wing ideologues led to this.

The heading should be why so many indians are leaving India and moving to other countries \n A topic Wion should discuss. Find out how many Indians have left india since independence. Find out how they developed their respective countries. Leave other countries and discuss yours.

I was bornin Canada and lived there for 45 years up until last November. I left to South East Asia and it's so much better out here than in Canada. I only go to Canada for 3 months back to White Rock just outside of Vancouver for the Summer. Canada is now just a Summer Vacation place for me.

Biden and the left are responsible for this mess.we need to close the borders now.

Nova Scotia not affordable no work you better be retired with a very good pension most of us with any gumption left

I belong to the 17% who left Canada due to high taxes, lack of opportunities and unbearable housing costs.

The main reason the majority of people don't want to mention due to the political correctness are out of reality left wing government laws and policies.

Most of these negative issues have risen in the last decade and are true...I'm not sure why anyone would want to come here anymore, let alone stay here. I do not 100% agree with the racism comment....yes there are those few idiots, but strangely never saw or heard it most of my life except in recent years since ultra left University educated policy maker crowd has been reminding everyone daily how racist and privileged white people are. When you tell children and people that constantly it creates division....perhaps this is where her comment came from?

Of course it does... Who wanted to join hunger and homeless situation as a life style. !! Even if you have a job, the Govt of Canada took all money from you as TAX... Canada have tax on your salary, and the they charge Tax on everything you buy with the little money left ...

If all the indian students left, alongwith all the indian immigrants, it would not be a problem as much\nChina and India are the biggest demographics of incoming migrants\nTime to change and ban those arrivals

This is the outcome when you allow the left or socialists to take the leadership.

Where muslim brothers and sister has none left, thank God he's wear very beautiful suit.

I wouldn't say my friends, but friend of friends also left Canada recently. Even earning 130k per year still left them a bit uncertain, having 2 kids, in the end of the month not so much is left, and when they looking on house prices they understand that they could afford one not even in foreseeable future

I left years ago.

I left Canada and won't go back. Very expensive and very poor medical care

Because it’s one of your left wing hell holes

I left Canada in 1983

Our Far Left Liberal government is responsible for this disaster. Keep this in mind BBC viewers.

Canada is a 2 star hotel that advertises itself as a 5 star hotel. It's a $h÷t-hole. I left in 2021, and have been living a much better life since I left.

Canada had to run into problems, so many immigrants, who will chose their leader based on their own ethnicity.\nNow the power shift has happened in the hands of the immigrants. Sadly, now they will make Canada into a state of the same country they left from.\nQuite evident right now. Jagmeet who is a supporter of terrorism and is shielding Khalistan based terrorist organisations and is also supporting the prime minister. Canadians will have a tough time now, as the properties will go up in price as loads of Immigrants will flood canada.\n\nI recently saw in the news my own country India is contributing the highest immigrants.
