trudeau has not only destroyed our economy but has made the future exceptionally bleak for generations to come.

On top of this, excessive government deficits (federal and provincial) hobble Canada’s economy with debt and interest payments. This was foreseen in 2021 when the OECD predicted that Canada will be the worst performing economy for the next decade, and for three decades after that.

Ah it is almost the same in my country, the Netherlands. Extremely wealthy, lot of immigrants to but we have a real reason to complain: we do not have the space Canada does have......let 's say a major difference? ? Anyway I will go to Canada just for vacation, hiking and travelling around ( I think will be Alberta or BC ) and put some of my well earned money in your economy. Greetings from the Netherlands, love your beautiful country and I will visit you. Life is short, make every day count even it is hard to pay your living costs, stay strong lovely people.

Might this be the case of reverse gentrification which happens in US, Europe and people are just not enjoying it. I see in Berlin the original berliners now have to move 2 hours away and higher income earners have taken all the central housing. Its good for the economy and not good for the original folks unless they were homeowners. Its a function of growth and not regression. Plus with flying cars incoming soon wont everyone want to live far far away?

Donald Trump is coming back in 2024. The economy will be soaring soon. Forget about Canada it is over!!!! USA Forever!!!!

Strong economy ? “well functioning government” ????

In response to the points raised in your video, I'd like to share some insights on the US-Canada comparison. It's undeniable that the US, as the world's leading economy, offers a wealth of employment opportunities, far surpassing those in Canada, which still holds a commendable position as the world's 10th strongest economy. From my perspective as a Canadian who has relocated to the US, the prospect is tempting, given the potential for a better lifestyle. However, it's crucial to weigh this against the realities of US immigration policies. Unlike Canada's more welcoming approach, the US process is daunting, labeling immigrants as 'Aliens' and imposing strict conditions like finding employment within 60 days of losing a job on a visa, or face restarting the entire immigration process.\n\nFurthermore, education in the US, especially at top universities comparable to York or the University of Toronto, is exorbitantly priced at around $50,000 USD per year, a big contrast to the more affordable Canadian fees.\n\nWhile Canada boasts superior social programs and a generally more welcoming attitude towards immigrants, it's not without its challenges, as highlighted by the cost crisis discussed in your video. This issue is prevalent in many countries with high immigration rates, like England and Australia, where housing costs can consume a significant portion of one's salary. Despite these challenges, Canada often offers a more balanced and affordable living experience compared to its counterparts.

Canada is fake economy that live mostly from immigrants sell everything overseas and bring this money to Canada by the time they realized after bills all money gone , strong one going home weak one live like slaves paycheck to paycheck

America and the West need to hands off other countries economies and politics.\nThey corrupt these leaders and make puppets of most of them to harness the best of their raw materials for almost free, so this is the result...

The solution is either bring in a lot of R&D or put up a lot of manufacturing.. economy cannot run on 40% yields from a limited real restate.. no economy, no country..

?nz is worse so dont come here and Australia is not far behind ! The world economy is stuffed puting it mildly !

Life is tough here in Canada. Economy is stagnant, things aren't working, crime rate is up, healthcare is in decline, politics is abysmal. I can understand and don't blame Canadians who want to leave. But I have hope that things will change for the better.

not so, they are working under the water and bleeding economy. sold out country

stop refugees coming in canada, we dont know who they are or their identity and they simply get all the free house, rent and pay \n\nthose students and foreign worker who come to Canada with law obeying, who contribute to Canadian economy is not getting fair treatment

Immigration should be matched with jobs available in the economy and housing availability. Liberals have targets for immigration for the sake of having targets that they think will win them elections but like everything else they are wrong here too

?????? it’s Whyte Canadian who are complaining about it. Canada ?? needs immigrants to grow economies.

Rent will keep increasing as there is no competitive market. as many of the people in Canada are already operating carousel tax fraud. Look that up on W5 and Canada is doing nothing to stop this, guess where all the ones at the top of that carousel are from? As long as there are ones operating illegal business earning more than the average hard worker being able to afford higher rent the rent will not be decreased but keep going up. Saying that they are bringing in mostly younger people is a lie too, they bring in everyone. That our workers are aging out and there will be nobody to do the work. Let's think about this clearly, as the population grows we need more businesses, more schools, more produce etc... Fact we need the same amount of business for a community based on the size of the community I would think. In the 1800's a small school house was sufficient, a local convenience store was enough with a mail order catalogue etc.. As population grows you need more. We also now have self check outs etc.. We are cutting down Canadas number one resource trees to make way for more and more roads etc.. Having to spend more to change and widen roads, feed these refugees, support them till they get situated, house them for how long, educate, train them, and then hope they can actually adapt and not hate us etc.. Look around the world and not just in our own back yards i.e. what happened in NY today, look at Britain afraid to put up Merry Christmas not to offend or any Christian monuments. Yet we have to tolerate. hmmm As said before I am neither Christian nor Jewish I am Natsarim and view those things as pagan myself but feel this world is going down the wrong path and nobody should have to cave in for the sake of others. I will stand with the Christian and I will stand with anyone that I feel are being made to turn over their ways for the sake of others and have their economy shattered in so many ways. Ask yourself what is your government really doing to protect you on so many levels? Many also come here only to study or take loans and then spend all that money they borrow and then leave, banks offer them special incentives with with welcome to Canada packages and they use it all up, buy goods, then sell them and leave. I read that it really is a problem and some have posted on quora if I owe canada money will I be arrested if I return or what will they do to me. It was quite a high amount on a special credit card he obtained that he maxed out shopping and then selling the goods. Now I know many can do that sort of thing and some by mistake, but those that have no intent to stay... The point is what is being done to protect us from purposeful frauds.

The record shows that Justin Trudeau's Canada has become a den of terrorists yet it's vast lands,less population are it's plus points. It's economy is growing on talented diaspora. Inspite of our manifold drawbacks our galloping economy is capable of retrieving our diaspora.

Wow how much of an idiot do u have to be not to recognize the problem with more immigrants equals more strain on the economy as a whole .

No. Allowing criminals, extremest, seperatist in to country by ignoring their background check up is impacting canadian economy

I am voting for whoever stops this madnes of refuges #nomorerefuges, there is no housing, economy is shit. dotn bring more problems. Fix first our own problems.

Ask 10,000 people who know nothing about a subject, and you will still know nothing about a subject.\n\nCanada’s birthrate is below replacement. \n\nOur immigration rate compensates for this.\n\nIf we don't, with our aging demographic, government services like healthcare would need to be severely cut. \n\nIf we don't, our economy shrinks, and people lose their jobs.\n\nLowering immigration will kill our economy.

Canada Finish now Economy down .......... Everything is high to Living

Not just the housing crisis, but just the general economy. Immigration in the current circumstances is nothing more than a threat of allowing ideological extremists and other such 'enemies' into our country, while simultaneously making everything more expensive for the average Canadian, ON TOP OF our tax dollars being funneled into wars halfway across the globe that *DO NOT CONCERN US,* and probably diverting a significant portion of that into hidden accounts of our 'supreme leaders', and finally 'Multiculturalism' is just a failed experiment that weakens our values, culture, and ethics.\n\nI don't hate or blame the individuals that are coming here because they aren't the ones at fault, they're just reacting to world circumstances. No, I hate the people who are funneling them here, paying them greater benefits than I myself can qualify for as a *CITIZEN,* or are sending them here with the intention to drain us dry. So basically, the government.

Immigration of anti-Canadian cultures and people with zero trade / craft is detrimental. We love our foreign doctors, nurses, and talented future Canadians. Immigration lottery does nothing to match people with needed industry sectors. The goal now is to import uteruses for the pyramid scheme economy, which isn't working.

No more UN refugees and asylum seekers in Canada. Refugees cost 4.5 Billion per year, and UN Asylum Seekers 1.2 billion per year in Canada; according to CRA, both are living parasitising the taxpayer's money. International students contribute over $22.3B per year to the Canadian economy – greater than exports of auto parts, lumber or aircraft. International graduates are also a source of key talent to help support Canada's future economic growth and counteract the country's aging demographic, according to the government of Canada. UN Refugees and UN Asylum Seekers: zero dollars forever. Simple maths.

Last year it was reported that Canada needs to take in MORE immigrants over the next few years to fix our current worker shortage or our economy and payments to our old age security pensions will be at risk. So tell me, WHAT are you going to blame Canada's workers shortage on and loss of pensions when we start taking in fewer immigrants and workers? YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!

Why does Canada need Immigration? The Gap between Canadians who are retiring and those who are in the workforce (and hence are paying taxes) or are supposed to enter is increasing. There are more Canadians retiring than those working. Result? The Canadian government has less tax revenue (and perhaps more expenditure as a result of Increased pensions etc.). So now, either the government has to Increase Taxes (More taxes? Hell no!!) or bring in New Immigrants to increase the tax-paying workforce of the Canadian Economy. Hence, immigrants are needed and the political parties including Conservative, Liberal, NDP, etc. know this and are inviting immigrants in record numbers. The issue is too much red tape in Building housing options in Canada, not immigrants

It’s good for the economy having immigration for sure, but at the rates they are coming definitely is putting pressure on the housing situation. Can we build houses fast enough is the question.

As a white person whose ancestors are from Europe I can tell you most racist white Canadians are spoiled brats. They dont know anything about how the governement works or how if we stopped taking in immigrants our entire economy would collapse. I say we should deport any white racist agitators back to where their ancestors are from. Make room for non idiots and people who undertand reality and want peace.

High tax rate is the root cause of the problem. When half of your income goes to government, you simply dont have incentives to work, invest, or be an entrepreneur. Trade off between efficiency and equailty is the economy 101.

Quebec is a culture of leaches with no clue of what it takes to keep the wheels of Canadas economy turning.

Canadian market and economy needs to open up like that of the USA. Canada will then be unstoppable!

Boomers have turned our housing market and economy into a raging dumpster fire.

Central banking and the monopoly over the issuance of fiat currency destroys the productive economy.\n\nIt turns Capitalism into Crony Capitalism and the working class into the working poor.\n\nIt needs to be gotten rid of or it will destroy all of productive society eventually.

I'll spell this out very plainly so anyone can understand. The economy in Canada is completely crippled for 2 reasons. Lack of social housing built by the government for decades, and greedy REITS and multi property owners squeezing every penny out of Canadians they can AKA late stage capitalism. If there was social housing, a house wouldn't cost 700k on the national average, and there wouldn't be such a big market for the REITS and landlords to gobble up every house. There would be more to go around creating less of a tight grip like they have now.

Let this be an example of what liberalism does to an economy.

Trudeau has done that. He invited all of thee foreign travellers here and he ruined the economy. YOU get what you voted for.

Canadians voted for this. Not only did Trudeau cause this inflation, he did nothing to support housing sector amid lack of supply, he didn't support our economy and our CAD dollar has fell causing goods to be more expensive for Canadians, taxes are up, carbon tax is rising. Vote him out. Enough is enough.

methanol line design for condominium houses quarter or more affordable solution clauses salary psycology materialism instead of too much attract medical economy

Born Canadians are leaving. Why does it matter in this economy that those not born are leaving ? I care about born Canadians that must leave. And this channel is talking about kids from other countries living in our most expensive cities? How about the ones that have worked their whole lives here that are losing their homes? How ridiculous and trivial this was

So Vancouver is one of the most expensive provinces to live in. It’s basically all money from Asia parked there. There’s not much in the way of economy either.

Both my parents respective countries are cheaper, safer and have better social services than Canada, despite having smaller economies. It is easier to buy property in those coutnries too. I'm not surprised immigrants are leaving. \n\nWe are now a country where nationals are getting older and the only thing keeping the population from declining is immigration. If immigrants stop coming I am not sure Canadians will be ready for the decrease in the standard of living that will cause. Corporate landlords, banks and REITs will be just fine lol fml.

It is going to be real challenge for Pierre to fix this broken economy. I don't see it improving in near future, the only option is to leave.

We should have the countries we send money to to use it to really improve their economies. Too much corruption.

2:21 Oh my god, THIS! I've been trying to explain to my fellow Canadians for several years that our ridiculous obsession with putting our investment income into real estate, often via non-essential home improvements for NO REASON other than to raise the price, is hurting our economy. Unless you run a business, offer services, or operate a factory in your house, houses do not produce GDP! \n\nI am not saying to not fix up your house if you need to. I'm not saying that if you think that your house would be lovely with a deck that you shouldn't build one. What I'm saying is that to put every dollar of disposable income into real estate instead of investing in something like businesses, equities, or private credit that our country will continue to suffer, and this IS something that we, as working Canadians, can control.

100% bang on.. I've lived in Dubai (traveled to many other countries).. this is nowhere near being considered as developed anymore (GDP criteria is outdated)..Canada got developed and they forgot to update and even upgrade..!! The drug situation is so bad that I really hope that you didn't come across crackheads/homeless who are under the influence of drugs at all times.. No doubt there are way more homeless people in India, but they are working or at least trying in some way to make their life better and they never hurt you at least, here, it's the opposite, as they literally can do anything.. you can find them roaming all over on the streets of Old Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa.. You can literally find them everywhere.. someone commented earlier that you should give 2 years.. Bro or sis.. it's a complete waste as I am at the same point.. and on top of it when you invested 2 years, it even becomes tougher as it becomes even harder to go back as you have spent so much on furniture, house, car, tools, n all and most importantly - 2 YEARS of life. I left my pregnant wife and have been staying away from her and a 1-and-a-half-year-old baby boy hoping that we'll create a better future and can afford to struggle right now.. its been 2+ years.. Honestly.. I am still not able to figure out whether there is any future or I have spoiled my present looking for a future.. its a dilemma beyond explanation in words, with no relatives or anyone based here.. I've a lot at stake currently and that's the only reason I am stuck otherwise leaving this place seems to be inevitable.. \n\nI travel extensively all throughout and forget about expressways anywhere in Canada (Except 407 which has an insane toll rate) it's a 4-lane highway just 80 km from Toronto to the rest of 450+ kms to Montreal which are 2 major cities of this so-called developed country.. same is for Ottawa, the same hold true from Calgary to Edmonton, and any other major town/city!! on top of it, they are struggling to even maintain those (always under construction - even construction is a wrong word to use as they aren't adding anything new.... it is just being repaired in true words) Same is true with adding new infra in terms of hospitals or any other facility... Banking sucks.. Still dealing through the mail (Postal mail).. (Mails not e-mails). I simply can't get that.. the tax agency - CRA sends communications through the mail, and the same with any other agency.. Comon.. grow up is what I feel at times..!! People are literally not willing to work (Except hard-working immigrants), Govt. doesn't have any plans for the future regarding the economy and development... just bringing in immigrants.. that's it..\n\nYou've made a very smart decision and really at a very good time.. wish you, and your family all the best..!!

?Secret Service moved all homeless to shelters in a 2-mile radius around the meeting. Homeless people around the country gravitate to moderate/temperate areas, which is why California taxpayers are bearing the brunt of this nation’s lack of mental & physical health services (which were removed 40 years under Reagan, & replaced by private jails). Xi is looking for money. His intel ally Putin is gone, & his economy is plummeting. He’s desperate

The United States is in a Major Change! The Deep State has Black Mailed Biden to let these Migrants in! The Cartels are getting rich to move these migrants through Our border! 2016 election was an overthrow of the United States Government! You ask why the overthrow? We are Bankrupt, We are Broke and if we didn't do this the United States economy would collapse and we would look like Somalia and Venezuela as their economy collapsed! Wake Up America!

CANADA ECONOMY IS DEAD… NO JOBS THE WORLD IS FACING FINANCIAL TURBULENCE. THOSE DAYS ARE OVER.
