I'm happy I saw this video because I was thinking about moving to Canada. Smh..

I came to Canada with big economic dreams, but Canada has so laid back attitude when it comes to economic development. This country is good for retired people only ?

Good negroes are always talking about Africa, then i invite you to leave canada and go back to Africa.

Stay the hell out of Canada . No one really wants you there . But that never stopped you before .

What is she talking about? I live in Edmonton. We are multicultural country. In Edmonton we have the biggest multicultural festival in the world. It is called Heritage Days. This is just one person's opinion not all of Canada.

STOP YOUR LIES GIRL DO YOU KNOW LOTS OF BLACKS IN WELFARE AND DO LOTS OF CRIMES IN CANADA. GIRL WHEN YOU GO TO WORK NOT SLEEP AND SAY LET THE WHITE GIRL DO IT YOU WILL BE FIRED. A D NEWS PLEASE TAKE THIS DOWN.

Born in Toronto raised in Edmonton. Moved to Houston and live in Alabama. I left Canada for Alabama and will not be going back.

Many of the ws thought leaders in the usa get their 'thoughts' from ws in canada.

I knew canada was full of it

Canada ?? Canadians have a nickname in Asia ??white-trash need 30% discount ! and they hated Americans all ?

Canada tortures and murders its own citizens for fun and profit. It's a totally corrupt, lawless industrial penal colony. Citizens are put on secret lists and tracked and harassed by cops, firefighters, teachers, church groups and more. That's one of the biggest problems with Canada's economy - an illegal, criminal police state. Not a free country.

This should be titled the problem with canadas government

We have less people here in Canada than in California alone; the datasets are not effectively comparable if you hope to produce results relevant outside of national pissing contests

The issue with canada is it is a consumer economy not a manufacturing economy. For all its similarities and problems the US is still a manufacturing economy. We can't afford to buy what little is produced in canada so we buy chinese or mexican instead since its cheaper. I work in the auto industry and the parts we make are put into cars that are then sold to americans. We aren't paid enough to afford the cars we make parts for and the excuse is always that our pay is on par with the other plants in the area. The other huge issue is liberal socialist economic and environmental policy is crippling industry and the economy as a whole. I mean what can you expect from a PM that is a failed drama teacher and a deputy PM/finance minister that is a fail journalist? The rest of the ministers are equally inexperienced when it comes to their government responsibilities.

Holy sh17. If canada is the least corrupt than the other countries must be totally corrupt. I hate our government

Canada like the USA is using the “Child Support” system to generate money for the state. Beware if your a father, passport bros is the way to go.

Yeah canada is 100% fucked long-term. No investment in people, technology and infrastructure. No wonder the OECD forecasts it as the worse performing in the next decade.

In 2009 I questioned if I could ever own a home but I was still working hard at my career and had some hope if I met the right women to marry. Then along came Justin Trudeau. Within 2 years of his goverment that dream faded fast. Everything I saved and my individual salary still wasn't enough. Property taxes and carbon taxes make it absolutely impossible here in southern Ontario even far a small home not without trying. I always get out bid on the 316 homes I tried to purchase. I can't pay 30%-70% above market value on a single income. Turning in my pensions isn't even an option. I'm not gambling away my retirement with current crrupt Liberal goverment that continues to raise taxes. To give some an idea just how single parents are crushed on taxes. I pay 53% of my income on taxes and get almost nothing back when filing my taxes cause I work hard and excel in my career. I get punished for being a hard work and risking my life to do so. Living in Canada has gotten gradually worse and worse the last 8 years. The socialist way of life isn't good. Now the writing is on the wall that it's becoming a communist country. I'm now searching for employment opportunities south of the border to give my child the best chance to making her dreams a reality. Canada isn't giving me any other options. If everything works out in the US I will surrender my Canadian citizenship at the earliest availability. It breaks my heart but I just can't allow them to enslave me and my child as she becomes an adult. Slavery is the only way I can describe the last 8 years. Also to top it all off 6 if the last 8 year's basic goverment services have been extremely unstable making doing business with Canada very frustrating. Getting a passport during this time has been delay after delay. Finding a family doctor that is stable almost impossible. \n\nCanada's economy status looks good from a far but its really far from good. Our goverment is literally paying 10s of billions in tax dollars to draw auto makers here and to even keep them here. Just further proof the economic future is very unstable. Probably even more so then the housing market. \n\nOur PM isn't even hiding his goverments level of corruption anymore. He actually brags about it at home and on the world stage. \n\n\nI worry about my future more then planing for it. Hopelessness has definitely set in. Now I'm in damage control by no fault of my own to make sure no possible debt are passed on to my daughter in the next 25 years when I'm gone. Even that is looking to be unachievable in my particular situation. It's my worst nightmare to leave my kid with any owing debts.

Canada used to be a great country. I have a very hard time saying that it is today. The government focuses on the wrong issues and taxes it's people to death. There was a time when $100k used to get you somewhere. Nowadays, it gets you a modest house mortgage, and one vehicle with just enough left over to put some food on the table.

Of course most people that make money go to the US to make even more money, but it’s only the top percent of our society. For lower social classes, they are happy to live in Canada because of all the advantages they have compared to the US.

One of the mentions in this article states Canada's oil and natural gas production is declining? The fact is Canada is selling more oil than it ever has. Takeaway capacity (pipelines) is increasing in Canada allowing for more oil production and will be increasing again by 2024 as additional takeaway capacity construction is completed. As far as Canadian oil sands oil being expensive to produce, the reality is the operators in the oil sands have reduced costs of production dramatically. The advantage of the oil sands is that Canadian oil producers do not have to spend heavily on exploration as they know where the oil is. Also, you will never have an ecological disaster like the Deepwater Horizon with Canada's oil sands. New oil discoveries off the coast of Nfld.& Lab. will be developed. Canada is a major oil exporter & Canada's oil reserves are the 4th largest oil reserves in the world. In Natural gas, Canada ranks as having the 18th largest world reserves. As far as natural gas there is the coastal link pipeline under construction and LNG facilities under construction on the west coast of Canada. These are over $40 billion projects the largest $ projects in the history of Canada.\n Much of Canada's wealth is in the ground. As the world demand increases for rare earth metals, copper, aluminium, steel, nickel, etc Canada is well-positioned to supply world markets. Canadian mining companies operate worldwide and the Canadian miners are both very experienced and good operators. \n You failed to acknowledge that Canada is a major agricultural producer country. In fact, Canada is a bread basket country that exports a lot of agricultural products, meat, and a large fishery industry.\n The article also fails to acknowledge Canada has a very well-developed social safety net system that is superior to many countries.

This video just gave me renewed purpose in Canada

Canada also has a leader that cares more about pronouns and issues like that rather than issues that impact the economy

i wish canada was still the least corrupt as the rest of the world assumes, but the thing with corruption in canada is that the leaders are actually fine, its the regular people that are corrupt and doing shady shit. immigration is killing canada. people with no money and no respect for the laws here do whatever they please

The problems with Canada economy:\n1. It’s being run by Canadians

Holy shit i dont know where this guy gets his info from. Canadas current prime minister is so ripe in corruption its unfathomable. Our state controlled media all covers his tracks and most Canadians have little to no savings due to unreal inflation. My country is slowly becoming a police state hell bent on extreme levels of immigration when there currently no infrastructure to support our current population. Canadians who can leave the country have been leaving as fast as they can.

the problem with Canada is arrogant, power mad, traitorous Trudeau. Isn't he the son of Castro the Communist?

The problem with Canada’s economy is TurdO and not so Freeland or better yet liberal/NDP politicians

. . . I don't think you have been to canada recently. I mean some things that you say are true, but some are ridiculous. But if you got your information from Canadas state run media, it is no wonder as to why you have inaccurate, or misleading information.

Hello;thank you;i need to go in canada.

Sure, tough times ahead for some in Canada... but, I've got another video about financial disaster... especially for US seniors! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD9GFL_iOKQ

As a Canadian I’m thankful to have grown up in such a great place. But it still bothers me to how little our growth has been. Canada has every tool required to be a fully self sustained global powerhouse. Yet nothing has been done to achieve this goal

The problem with Canada is that the entire economy consists of passing property deeds around. Nobody wants to invest in such an unfriendly business environment. There's no competition in so many sectors of Canadian society. Life is difficult and hopeless for many Canadians.

This is a very well made short video. Canada needs leadership that is bold enough to think about Canada's interest and plan for the long haul, rather than just content collecting money from land title transfer.

The problem with Canada right now is Trudeau

Canada has problems that hamstrings the economy. Government deficits and debt and secondly real estate prices and real estate as an investment.

Canada has incredible amount of pump and dump scam stocks

What a mediocre effort, you said nothing that hasn't been said by Zeihan and other's, not to mention, you provided no suggestions for solutions, just an opportunity for the resident idiots to cry Trudeau, when in fact the last decade has been one of the most tumultuous Canada has seen for years.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IN CANADA IS THE LIBERALS

It’s easier to move than invest in Canada

You look at how many businesses went out of business due to our high taxing. Poor government decisions for 8 yrs is crushing Canada

In Canada everyone is greedy. Just go and rent commercial land for business then you will know how expensive is the rent. I am not talking about ghosts cities where only old people are living. To open a business you need thriving population which is in big cities. Just look in the morning after 5 a.m. all the major highways are full of vehicles going towards Toronto. Because all the big businesses are there as well as their head office.

Trudeau has shut Canada down

I’ve been debating for the past few years about moving to Canada. You guys just have solidified that for me.

YOUR WELCOME CANADA ?? !!!!!\nThat’s our gift ? to you \nWith love ? from the USA ??

AOA SAMEER SAB MAIN GOVT K AIK PROJE T PER JOB KARTA HOON MERI INCOME 49000 HAI AUR MAIN CANADA K LIA APPLY KARNA CHAHTA HOON MERI BANK STATMENT NAHI HAI KIA MAIN APPLY KAR SAKTA HOON CANADA K LIA

Don’t bother coming to canada, hardly any jobs here

Canada you're going thru the same crap just like in Texas borders.

Am considering taking a transcript... To any school in Canada is a very easy and possible step right? Just asking to know ?
