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.

Strong dependence on the US economy is Canada’s main economic problem. Canada should decouple it’s economy from the US economy. Canada should establish a strong military alliance with China. Canada should provide sites to establish Chinese nuclear bases in southern Ontario. These nuclear bases will contribute to Canada’s economic prosperity.

These stats should also take into account the massive population difference between the US and Canada to give a more accurate representation if possible. But yeah our economy here in Canada is kinda communist and is heavily based on natural resources and exportation. We need diversification big time AND TAX CUTS. WE PAY TOO MUCH TAX!!!!!!!!

Canada shouldn't be a part of G7. It's economy, based on housing is a pure joke!

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

The problem with Canada's economy is Justin Trudeau and the idiots that voted for him because he has nice hair.

Nations competing for power and status has been what the history of the world has been mostly about. There are those that are obsessed with competition and are willing to die for power and status. This is the strongest motivation for the innovation, production and exchange of goods and services and is also why the best competitors cannot trust each other and feel the need to deceive, fool, cheat, spy and lie to each other and causes them to build weapons that can basically kill most of the life on this planet and damage most of the environment that can sustain life. \n \nMany nations are comfortable with their lower levels of power and status performance and do not think allocating more resources to move up the ladder will be of much benefit. \n \nPresently, if the economy is not growing, it is considered a failure. This type of thinking cannot go on uninterrupted on a finite planet with finite resources. There needs to be flexibility in the system for the economy to expand and contract and for a contraction to be considered normal and not a problem or a failure. The contraction needs to be just as prosperous and productive as the expansion. For this type of thinking to work, there needs to be some new economic theories and models developed along with some new types of money and financial systems based on economic sustainability not on economic growth and money inflation. \n \nI am sure there will be some Nobel prizes awarded to the academics, economists, corporate CEO's and business leaders and of course politicians and government officials that can figure out how to make a sustainable economy work and how not to devalue the nation’s money in the process.\n \nThe way this can begin and improve peace and fairness at the same time is when our business and government leaders along with our brightest and smartest among us including the most wealthy among us can learn to be much more truthful, honest and trustworthy and can start to understand that the wellbeing of others benefits everyone and is the bases for morality.

The problem with Canada's economy is that mr. I don't think about economic policy turdeau and his weasel faced lap dog are in charge of it.

The problem with the Canadian economy is that it is being destroyed by the actions and the policies of the current government. Between those horrible tax increases and the government funded lawsuits against us\nOur economy will fail. Not to worry though, after they remove Canada from the world stage and our money is worthless, the WEF will swoop in and save the day and we can all live under the tyranny of the wealthy.

Australian here! the most amazing part about this video was the fact that 17% of Canada's GDP come from mining and the wider resources sector. Australia often gets put down in the world of economics for being too reliant on mining even though Mining only makes up 10% of our GDP - wishing Canada the best of futures from your southern counterpart, Australia!\n\n@ECON pls do a video breaking down Australia's Economy

Trudeau and his Liberal Government have desecrated Canada’s economy!

Lot of information thanks,but it’s not applicable to compare to completely different economies

The problem with Canada is that the United States of America doesn't want a strong powerful country nearby, it will close any source of deals or laws that would advance the Canadian economy that could compete with Americans

We have doctors working as nurses, engineers working as waiters, and PhD holders working as labour. Our economy isn’t focused on producing quality jobs for our people and the people we are bringing in are of the same caliber (study wise) as the people we have grow up here, yet we don’t invest in research and development. \nI wanna move to the US and so does everyone I know because we used to swallow the tougher economic conditions just for the fact that we were safe, we can’t get that anymore, what’s the point?

The problem with Canada's economy is that the Trudeau tornado swept all the good things that could have happened to us with all kinds of weird decisions that threw our economy under the carpet and placed us in a miserable condition where it will take years for us to get back to normal!

Bad PM / leaders and Eco-activists kill the country. We could have a great economy like saudi with ours oil reserve but we need to use it less possible to be carbon zero ??

Problem with Canada's economy is that it doesn't really exist in the first place ???

Eastern Canada elected a moron for Prime Minister, who is completely clueless. Not surprising our economy is not thriving and only will get worse as we have to pay the debt this idiot has run up.

Canada’s biggest problem is it’s socialistic policies of the Liberal governments. Don’t confuse things: social programs like education and healthcare are not an exclusive marker of socialism. The balance of government interference in the economy IS. Nobody in their right mind would start a business in Canada today. \n\nSecondly, running a business means buy and resell, manufacture and sell leaving a profit. But the business of running Canada is losing money. The formula of running the country doesn’t work. We go deeper into debt every year, now to the point where it’s impossible to grow out of debt. As we allow massive immigration to counteract an aging, non-productive population, because of that negative formula, we just keep going deeper and deeper into debt. But it seems that most Canadians want that because we keep voting in the ‘robbers’. It’s time for Canadians to understand that soon a death tax will come in where all your asset value in taxes will go to the government. But that’s coming and is the only way for the government to pay down its debt.

Homelessness is an economy that supports bureaucrats and their crony friends. These bureaucracies steal working peoples money via social taxation. Mental health treatment is idiotically complex and difficult for a suffering individual to receive and maintain.

whole country is screwed cuz they allowed foreign investors to buy everything up then hold our economy at gunpoint... it's essentially economic terrorism.\n\nlike. you know why canada produces less cars now? probably has something to do with all the american owned factories in canada just deciding they don't want to invest in canada anymore and closing their factories.

Canada's economy is least concerning. let's talk about canada's health care system. THE WAITING MEDICARE

Canada is a super expensive country, I've been here for 30 years and still renting houses, unable to save for a downpayment to buy my own house, paying rent forever with my husband and not being able to afford to have kids either. This country is depressing, you go to college and then work and have nothing. Canada is not a happy country, people are broke, paying too many taxes and not getting the proper services, there is a shortage of family doctors in Canada. Also paying too much for rent and gas. The socialist government makes things harder year by year, they don't develop the economy to keep up with the times, the liberal government has a lot to do with the crappy economy here. They create policies to make everything extremely hard for Canadians to succeed. If you are thinking of coming to Canada, think twice, it's a trap, it will take you years to be able to afford anything, you will struggle most of your life.

The problem with Canada’s economy is Trudeau, his crony liberals and complicit NDP.

Build towns that are surrounded by walls give them a small space to live and build factories. Allow these people to have a small check and live and work in those small cities say in the middle of nowhere. Make them work for 1 year in those places and as long as they do good not crime and show up for work and take care of there living space then allow them to become citizens. That way you weed out the criminals and non hard workers. In 1 year you will have a good idea of who should be staying. Also its them paying for there spot and contributing to the us economy. Once they become contributing members of society and they get on there feet out of each check they will take a small amount to pay for all the resources that were used to help them. Also I belive the majority of the ones let in should be women and the young children. If I don't get free help working full time struggling they shouldn't either. Let's make america a manufacturing power house like we're were in the past and the only reason we are a super power now. Also do the same thing for criminals and the homeless teach them worth ethic and how to follow laws instead of giving them handouts to go buy more dope

The greatest obstacle to the Canadian economy starts with T and ends with U and has 5 letters in between.

Countries in courage this so they can get employment in the US and send cash back to their families back home. That helps their economy and their government doesn't have to spend as much money to help their own people. So Americans are helping to take care of their citizens for them. That's why those countries in courage people to come and not try and stop them. Just look at all the check cashing businesses on every corner in some cities

I’ve been watching this video and others like it for decades. Yes, the richest and most dynamic economy in the world is richer and more dynamic than Canada’s. Stop the presses!

LOLOLOLOL RIIIIIIGHT i live in Canada is not stable our economy is it the toilet and we have a prim-minster that admires China's basic dictatorship In short Canada is corrupt to the core and our political system is is shambles. SO please stop with this propaganda NONSENSE and tell some truth about Canada. DO not invest in this country. Oh and could you please send me some of what you are smoking

The economy problem of a government with members without kmowledge of politics studies and finances

Only problem with Canada's economy is the child running the country, He acts like a child with DaDDYS credit card he over spends irresponsibly then tosses the debt onto the people, He is a nightmare.

Canada fared well through the GFC because it doubled down on housing. The economy is built on mortgage debt.

As a canadian, Im not surprised that the statistics for canadian economic activity are so dismal since 2015. We elected one of the most corrupt, authoritian governments in the world, whos been actively destroying the economy while printing money, driving up debt and humiliating us on the global stage. Did you know in just 8 years justin trudeau (AKA Black face hitler) has created more debt than every other prime minister COMBINED. they have created insane new taxes and our quality of life has declined on a scale never before seen in canadian history. \n\nCanada Is Broken

So I am just wondering as an American why you Canadians don't have any ways to remove PM Justin Trudeau if your economy is getting worse? Because he's been there for decades.

Canadas biggest problem is the guy making the decisions on the top in 2023 and his adherence to WEF and ESG principals, in which he is killing Canadas biggest money making industries (energy). How many economies do well when they intentionally kill their golden goose?

Meh, vanilla analysis that circles around important points but fails to make inightful critiques:\n\nA. “Canadian productivity lags . . . the economy is less productive and innovate than America’s . . . less competitive . . . less capital . . .”, and then finally “banks are prudent, well regulated, and untroubled by excessive competition”!!! Yep, just put it together: Canadian banks (and government policies) have comfortably sedated the economy and populace.\n\nB. 00:09:00 “The fact is, Canada’s dependence on natural resources for economic growth has discouraged investment in other sectors”. Total rubbish! Canada discourages investment generally. Success in natural resources - despite government policy and cultural biases AGAINST them - does not hinder economic development elsewhere. The banks, governments, and degenerate academics in Canada do such a good job screwing everything over that the ambitious leave, thus, as the video observed, the “brain drain” south. You know what’s ONLY thing that cannot leave Canada for the USA? Natural resources!! That’s why natural resource companies endure in Canada, because they have no choice.

Canada is a real estate banana republic. Real estate is an unproductive asset to the general economy. It's dependent on low borrowing rates which encourages asset price inflation and the exploitation of those who are unwilling to participate or those unable to afford barriers to entry. This perpetual cycle of borrowing, buying and exploiting, has its upper limitations. Eventually everyone loses as debts are insurmountable and rent becomes unaffordable. When a recession occurs due to lack of spending, job losses will occur and a deleveraging will be soon to follow.

I doubt Canada is a stable government, freely elected and least corrupt countries is the world. You might want to consider the least corrupt counties, as Christine Freeland has publicly stated the did not like what they saw, they turned off the Canadian economy when they liked what they saw, they turned it back on. Also the freely elected part, as it is known by many the the CCP helped re-elect the Liberals for a few elections, starting in 2015, I have to admit that they helped them become only a minority elected country but the NDP made them a majority. As far as a stable government, I have heard the Justin Trudeau for the first time as Prime Minister of Canada, wears a bullet proof vest and has his protection team openly carry aggressive weapons to protect him. Just a reminder. an average Canadian cannot use lethal weapons to defend themselves even in a life-threatening circumstance. Just suggesting you might want to re-evaluate your description of Canada.

I would like to see an alaysis on germany's economical struggles since they will get really hard with their age structure. Their migration rates are ok, but it's not looking so good. The EU's economy is dependant on germany having a good economical outlook

All because the CIA, mexican government and the shadow goverment don@t want to legalize cocaine and improve the economy.

Billions to fund a foreign war but we can't even allocate funds to help our own people or our neighbors, even when we do stimulate their economy the corruption in their government is so rampant that it all gets pocketed, so sad.

If América don't stop this and keep accepting this total of immigrants, I'm afraid that America will feel in so much pressure that will do the same thing that President Putin have done with Ukraine. But if we see the full picture of this events, it seens like out there there is a Unites State enemy who is using the brain ? on using this poor people are destructive weapon, motivating them to come, not to help this People, but to bring more cause in the economy of A.erica dn pudding our own people against our self. Think about it! This is not normal, if we can't how much immigrants have already came, we are talking about million of immigrants. What are they go to eat, drink !? Is very simple ! From our own farmers and grocery food. Hunger is the greatest enemy of human kin. When that comes, be aware that this country knows as a great country, will comes in a great disaster.

These ladies are learning about tax and spend liberalism. There is NEVER enough tax money. You take Quebec that has the highest taxes in North America. They also run the weed sales, the casinos, and all the alcohol sales, and they are still deep in debt. Whatever you are paying in taxes is never enough. It doesn't take much digging to figure out why. The government administration in every ministry is bloated with people who do very little to add value but get paid big salaries. They can't be fired no matter how bad the economy gets or how badly they perform their job. They are also guaranteed a generous retirement that private workers do not get. You are working to support a parasitic class that feed off of your hard work.

Sometimes I wonder why we don't just start a campaign into central America increase jobs make alot of hard working citizens happy won't have to worry about immigration but if we brought them down would prolly collapse world economy when we remove the drug money?

They want people to come to Canada, even with the risk it brings, it's to better improve their economy wealth and society ?

100% with you. It’s the liberal government and especially CBC and other media that are pushing a far left ideology. It’s destroying everything that make the country work.\nThe taxing rate is destroying the economy. You are left with half your income, out of that you get taxed 15% on expense and if you buy expert (plumber, carpenter) they too loose half of it. This is destroying the productive free economy. It’s at a point it might collapse.\n\nIf we want to save Canada we have to vote conservative and return to the value that work, freedom, low taxes, small government.

That is why education, technology and growth is important for any nation. Not just showing lavish cars and clothes ?‍♂️?\nAs an Indian we are proud that we fastest growing economy now and focused on technology and education and IT.❤

This is what happens when you mess with another country economy,? karma

This people are desperate, they come from torn down economies and cartel influenced countries. I feel for them .

USA destroyed Venezuelas economy with sanction, after sanction. Their inflation rate is in the hundreds of thousands percent..can’t blame them for their mass exodus.
