Canada has outran the USA in the proliferation of the thought, that the State, not the individual is responsible for one’s well being. I think there’s still hope for the west, but things will have to descend much further into darkness before people change the behaviors causing the problems.

Excellent explanation, it’s good that you and your husband are working together to minimize the coast, but oh my God how old are you? You look very young but still, you lived in so many places around the world from Germany to Indoneasia, and now, you are five years in Canada, but you look, of course, from the far east, so that’s another probably four country, oh my God, you lived everywhere in this world, I wonder how many languages you speak by now, good luck for you you are very good explainer, I love cold, lovely, snowy weather, but just enjoy it, but not to live in it. I am happy that I live in Florida, it is true you might not want to get into politic, or your program is not about politic, but it is politician, who makes the rules that affect everything, so one way or another we are a result of political decision

Born in Toronto in 1953. Left Toronto in 2019 and settled in rural Nova Scotia. I can sleep now. I am on zero meds now. I own a house and acreage which are completely paid for. I have zero debt. I hate Toronto and will never go back...not even to visit. Toronto is now officially the armpit of Canada.

It's good to warn folks.. Economics across Canada are in the waist bin.. Housing and social problems are rising.. Inflation is cruel high.. ?

I love Toronto but now a days I dislike to live and work here I will prefer move to a less expensive town and a calmer and not so dangerous place . Hoping my loved Canada do not imitate Toronto . Got permit not.

No mention of Trudeau or Chow. Our “leaders” get to do whatever they want because Canadians have been brainwashed into thinking that calling out corrupt politicians is “negative” or “not nice”. The cult of “nice” is killing canada.

Most jobs in canada are min wage. Good luck

Left Canada in 2021 because of Trudeau and happy i did.

This is what communism does. Canada (or more precisely the globalist elite) has run itself into the ground in under 20 years which is almost impressive. Between the LGBTSPWQ propaganda making free speech a thing of the past, the vaxxine mandates, MAID killing of the unwanted people in the populus, the wokeness of it all and Trudeaus hatred of freedom - communism ! Such a sad thing to see

Canada is shit

Everybody is leaving Canada now mostly because of homelessness, crime and drug issues

Canadas biggest problem is Trudeau

I am sure the good people of Canada will be pleased with your decision. Your hat and kaffiyeh testify to your values.

Sounds like Canada will be poorer without you. God be with you.

ONE OF THE EFFECTIVE APPROACHES TO THE PESENT PROBLEMS OF CANADA RE: POVERTY AND HOMELESSNES AND HOUSING CRISES IS: THE CANADIAN COVT MUST HAVE A REVIEW RE: ACCEPTING NEW IMMIGRANTS OR REFUGEES: IT MUST STOP THAT COMPLETELY: BECAUSE 8 OUT 10 OF REFUGEES HAS DODGY APPLICATIONS: THEY ARE IN REALITY COMING TO CANADA TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES UNDER A FALSE CLAIM OF ; REGUGEES APPLICANTS. AND: ANOTHER APPROACH TO LESSEN THE IMMIGRANTS TO CANADA ESPECIALLY REFUGEES AND HUANITARIAN APPLICANTS IF TO GIVE THEM CONDITIONED VISA= TEMPORARY FOR ONE OR 2 YEARS AND PUT A RESTRICTIVE CONDITION THAT AFTER THIS PERIOD THE APPLICANT MUST GO BACK TO HIS ORIGINAL COUNTRY =OR= WHEY THE POLITICAL SITUATION IS SETTLED THEIR ORIGINAL COUNTRY; LIKE:=((IRAQIES IMMIGRANTS)= AND ALSO TO KEEP MONITORING CLOSELY OF WHERE THOSE NEW IMMIGRANTS SETTLING OR LIVING. ANOTHER APPROACH WHICH IS EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE FOR CANADA as well as ALL IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES TO EUROPE IS: TO STOP PAYYING SOCIAL WELFARE AND BENEFITS TO THOSE IMMIGRANTS: = AND TO STOP ANY IMMIGRANT TO OWN: A HOUSE if he or she already have GOVERNMENT HOUSING : OR: MUST INFORM THE GOVT OR HIS NEW PROPERTY=(OR) LEGAL SANCTIONS AND DEPROTATION without any exception !!! Canada; as well as Europe: Must now stop receiving immigrants and Refugees and applying strict conditions and strict welfare system to them. AND TO GIVE ANY IMMIGRANT OR REFUGEE at all times: Temporary Visa; and then the subject must leave the country to his original country or to any other third country of his or her choicel ANOTHER APPROACH THAT : ANY IMMIGRANT OR REGUGEE COMMITTING ANY SERIOUS CRIME OR MULTIPLE REPEATED CRIMES IN SHORT PERIOD OF TIME : IE ON YEAR: MUST BE DEPRTED TO HIS ORIGINAL COUNTRY AND FOREVER!!! THERE ARE MANY OTHER APPROACHED TO BE EMPLOYED TO DEAL WITH THE PRESENT PROBLEMS AND CIRSES IN CANADA AND GERMANY AND EUROPE!

the Tax system in Canada is FAIR:= EVERYONE MUST PAY TAX AT THE TIME OF RECEIVING HIS OR HER WEEKIY OR MONTHLY INCOME== THIS IS FAIR: AND THE MORE YOU HAVE MONEY EARNINGS ; THE MORE YOU MUST PAY TAX in order to lessen the Gab between classes of the community. And why a person must have 2 jobs?? it is just Greed!!! having two jobs means you deprive another person looking for a job!!! TAX SYSTEM IS FAIR: AND CHARGING THE TAX IN ADVANCE PER MOTH OF WEEK IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO HELP PUTTING AN END TO: (TAX EVASION AND TAX AVOIDANCE) !! TAX SYSTEM IS:=FAIR, YEAH!

Excuse me , Immigrants come every year as usual , even quantities of immigrants were reduced by COVID disrupt, The actual reason Allowing foreign investors to buy a a properties in Canada has imbalanced the real estate cost ,Real estate Mafia with Govt and political persons are involved bin this scam

actually Canada should revoke all Indians passports born in India and no one is allowed to remit funds to India and you will see what happens

It s not only Toronto but the whole of Canada has been hard on locals and immigrants. We re seeing more and more immigrants newly arrived who become disillusioned with Canada and decided to move out of Canada permanently due to many factors, i.e, cost of living, low salaries, housing shortages and sky high mortgages....

Glad I left Canada before it went down the toilet. Detroit is actually better.

ahh so kaya pala yung kaklase kong doctor na dito sa pinas naging janitor sa canada para makakuha ng canada work experience.

Yeah, being a woke sh*tshow and a new dictatorship has probably nothing to do with it. I think how Mr. Turdeau behaved during the years of the pandemic and showed his true colors and what he thinks of the people and their opinions and rights is reaping its consequences. Pandering to maybe 2% of woke crazies and punishing the rest .. You had a nice run Canada. Once my favorite country, now a frozen hell hole of madness.

I just saw your video, I don't know where you are moving to, but rest assured that the USA is as bad, if not worse than Canada. Deterioration of moral codes of conduct, open borders with cartels running the show. I think you should consider anywhere other than the USA..

A very well documented vlog about pros and cons of settling in CANADA. Presently visiting Canada to see the reality of this Country. And after 4 months i completely agreed with whatever you have explained in this video. I have decided myself to educate more people like you to never leave their Country no matter what the circumstances are. Racism is so subtle and different here now a days. We Indians cannot tolerate each other here leave alone the Canadians. Never leave your home Country ever. Never!!❤

I lived in Western Europe, Japan and at the moment, Canada. I lucked out getting a well paying job in Vancouver when I moved back a few years ago and my average tax rate is actually the exact percentage you stated in the video - 28%, which includes income tax, pension and employment insurance. I'm actually doing better in terms of quality of life now but I do miss being able to travel around Europe for cheap. (e.g., quick train ride to Paris for the weekend) Now, I take cheap flights (e.g. Flair Airlines) to Mexico instead.\n\nJust to state some data points: when I was in Europe, I paid a total average of 39% income tax on a lower salary than I have right now in Canada. Things like utilities (e.g., gas/electricity), restaurants, certain grocery items and electronics (e.g., iphone/PS5/computers) were significantly more expensive because European VAT (inclusive) is usually 20%+. \n\nI don't have the exact numbers but on average I believe I was paying 70 - 90€ ($100 - 130 CAD) just for electricity each month for a small flat, but I am now paying $30 - 50 CAD for a decent sized 1 bedroom. I believe my housing gas bill was about the same or possibly a bit more. In addition, automobile gas prices were much higher (about $2€/L on average which is $2.90 CAD/L) and I think they could go even higher right now. \n\nHowever, rent is definitely more expensive in Vancouver, but I believe that is true for many West coast cities in North America. Right now I'm paying $2300 CAD a month for a 1BR, and I split that amount with my partner. In comparison, it would have been about €1300 ($1900 CAD) for something similar in the city where I was living previously. In a more expensive city (e.g. Amsterdam) a 1BR would easily cost €1800+ ($2650 CAD).\n\nFor me, the difficulty of making friends in my late 20's stays about the same. I think it is difficult to make new friends after graduating from school, and you have to put yourself out there by joining groups and events. (e.g. Meetup or volunteering?)

If you think the us is more pro Palestine than Canada your wrong. The u.S is Israel’s number one ally, supply them weapons and are about to go to war for them

Wow-as an American, crime and homelessness are not what we think of when we think of Canada.

2:40 ha ha!! That shd be your FIRST reason to leave Canada.\n\nWHY did you come to Canada in the first place. It’s NOT a Muslim country for you to compare it with, unless you have an AGENDA thru this video to ask Govt to make Canada Myslim country “If you don’t make it Myslim we are leaving….” …?

Canada has unlimited immigration. total open door, so we are completely overwhelmed and unable to cope with unfettered population growth, without the infrastructure to handle it. we are in decline and on a path towards a very poor standard of living.

Same thing in California, a lot more people moving out than move in. Population decrease. I think the main reason is a lot of bad policies from government. Not only high tax or homeless problem. But decriminalized criminal.\nIn Canada I believe your government destroying your country from inside.\nTo much social program free stuffs make hard working honest citizens life like a slave, of course immigrants from shith**l countries love all free stuffs and they got their votes in return to keep them in power.

Toronto people complain that really all they get is two, true warm months of summer. June is sort of warm, but it can be cold at night and suffer cold snaps. Finally warm August comes to an end. While many Americans to the south struggle through an Indian summer of continued high heat into September and even early October, September brings the cold temperatures back to Canada, not yet freezing, mind you, but full autumn where the jackets have to come out and you don't see the welcome, warm, sunny sunshine and the ability to sit outdoors wearing thin clothing.

When losers gets passport or Canada and then cry shit on moving out \nSecond category is those non tech and no medical professionals moving to Canada thinking they will get same job and more salary is also big mistake

I can understand your frustration with Canada, but honestly it sounds like you won't be happy anywhere in the west. Good luck.

I think it's fair to say also that you are leaving Canada including your Canadian citizenship to be a fair statement....otherwise that's hypocrisy and just using the Canadian advantage.

I love your idealism but I’m afraid you’re completely and utter naive about how much freedom you have here in Canada compared to the world at large ❤ You will be back here soon enough and embracing your life with renewed gratitude ?

Born and raised in Canada 30+ years. Probably one of the worst health care systems I ever experienced. Crime, too expensive, horrible politics and leadership. \n\nLeft years ago to Asia and every time i got back to visit, I feel like I've gone back in a time machine 50 years. Never moving back. Best decision of my life.

I'm Australian and moved to Canada on a WH. My standard of living was lower, I was paid less for the same job I worked in Australia, the benefits that Canadian workers get aren't as generous as in Australia and there isn't as much protection for workers. All in all a disappointing move and I ended up high tailing it back to Australia well before my Visa even expired This was before Covid though so not sure if things have gotten better or worse.

In india we can’t buy iPhones cars and banlos we were employed in india. Canada has given us everything and that’s why we are in Canada

Canada Cold \nCanada next to most powerful economy in world \nSouth of Canada not always so cold

Rid Canada of Jews and Queers so you feel more comfortable living here? Set up clean Praying areas and let you decide what our kids are taught in school? NO BYE

Great - take more with you. Canada is getting worse and worse in every aspect.

Canada gives empty promises for better life. Most people fall for this worldwide. Once you reach Canada, you will understand all it wants your money that you will bring it from your own country and after that it will throw you in a trash can. Canada is a barren country with no jobs and housing crisis and winter is harsh and brutal. Most of its northern regions are empty and soulless.

I'm confused! I thought you needed some sort of. ID to enter Canada?? Why do Illegals just run in!

Canada please i think with $20 billion dallars you can give and Home to the homeless people with the factory Capsule houses the prices range from $28 .000 and above depend on the rooms ,Make the world ???? a better placeb,,, there are even simple ones that cost about $4.000:dallars with everything Kitchen etc toilet and baths, just clear some Land floor it and place the capsule houses there they will be happy

Singapore is better than canada

Canada became too much like Usa. Canada has loose his identity. That's why I left.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!?! I've been to Palestine. I back Palestine. But coming to a Canada and expecting a Moslem environment? So what ISLAMIC country are you going to?

Immigrated to Canada 10 years ago...Now i'm looking to leave... It's a country in decline... As someone with an economics background, I could tell this country was gonna go to sht when a liberal government got elected 8 years ago... Bad policies & bad leaders can ruin countries... Canada is proof

Thanks for sharing - Just couldn't follow you on the crime rates in Indonesia? Crimes are nowhere near Indonesia. Do you mean Indonesia is by far mere secure or unsafe? (acording to statistics Indonesia has by far less homicied than Canada, compared to the population)?

Great, leave. I can't believe you came to Canada expecting it to be islamic
