Let’s complain about high cost of living issues for another 15 years and do nothing about it. The Canadian way.

Honestly I’m much more concerned about opportunities for our young people and seniors than I am people who have just moved here.

Welcome to Canada, lower your expectations in life and expect to pay more for everything.

I wonder what the best opportunities to invest now are, there are opinions but a little later I find out these opinions don't matter as a totally different turn of events play out with the stocks they discussed therein...

I'm leaving once I get my citizenship for Europe. Canadian born and proud to be Canadian but no longer. I'm done.

3rd generation Canadian here and an impoverished senior. The 'Canadian dream' is dead. All that's left is figuring out how so survive another year. It's awful. If you want to come here it's best to bring all the money you need with you. Think twice and maybe think again, there are better places than here.

How about how it has destroyed canadians lives

I am a born Canadian and I am exploring other living alternatives, other than Canada. I can no longer afford a healthy reasonable quality of life and see no future for my two teenage children. They will never be able to buy a home, both will go into debt to get training for future careers, they probably won't leave my home for a very long time as there are no affordable rentals and somehow I will have to sustain their living for them longer on one salary. Our health is declining because we can not access adequate medical care and afford reasonable healthy groceries. Gas is outrageous and it is difficult to be able to afford to get around the city for appointments, school and work. My son has applied to ample places as a teenager with NOT ONE call back for a part time job. Our city is overwhelmed with newcomers and our infastructure and social services can not sustain the rapid growth. Our government does not listen or respond to the people and give themselves well above the average Canadian salary.

Immigrants don’t want to come anymore? What a tragedy.

Leaving Canada is the best decision … I was born and raised in Ontario but it’s not home anymore … 😢

People try to predict the economy not realizing it is not a capitalistic market, its a command economy, central planning! my concern is, instead of having much dollar in bank that could lose value to inflation, do I save in gold to reserve and grow wealth for now, or just hang on?

no one should be suprised by this study

To those thinking about leaving, trust your intuition and have some confidence in your judgements, stop procrastinating and leave, it’s better for Everyone.

ALBERTA IS FULL I moved here 7 years ago and now want to leave. We don't have rent control. Do not come unless you buy.

I work with them. Many Indians I know want to go back, due to European cost of living standards.

Lived here all my 62 years, 4th generation. Just sold my house, leaving Canada. My home is broken

A new phenomenon .. the Canadian refugee.

I was born and raised here, and I feel like I'm in quick sand constantly. It feels unbearable. Were being replaced by outsiders who get more help than us.

Mass immigration causing high living costs. Mass immigration complaining about high living costs. Pure irony.

What about the younger generations how about them you keep giving all the best jobs to immigrants and we can't move up the ladder either it's impossible to find a freaking job right now.

Probably for the best, too many newcomers have entered this country. People who were born here are having a hard enough time.

I'll be leaving. Not because of high living cost, as I can afford it, but because I don't see benefits in staying. 9 months per year of cold weather? No thank you. Cheap Air Fryer but expensive AF veterinarian care? No thank you. Free health care but no family doctors available? Preventative health care is also non existant. You've got to literally lie to your doctor to get him to run an exam.

The Canadian cost of living is getting way out of hand. All the carbon pricing and green initiatives are killing us. Canada is in the Northern hemisphere and we need fossil fuels to keep us alive in the winters and to get to work. Electric cars are great as a second vehicle if you can afford it. Do not even get me started on our health care system. We cannot serve our current number of citizens let alone letting more people in whom do not pay taxes.

Poor immigrants coming, high net worth, lower middle class, and poor locals staying, upper middle class leaving to all over the world...mostly US

Hey how about looking after those born right wise in this country instead of Johnny come lately all the time?

People! Read the news, the cost of living is out of control around the world. Americans are living in their cars, Brits are not turning on their heat, aussies are struggling etc etc, it is not just a Canadian problem. The world is in this together!

Go home Canada is closed we don’t have housing we don’t have doctors and this is not a place to solve your problems.

Millions of people with nowhere to go and nothing to do. Why were they invited? It’s stupidity. We’re stupid.

Oh no!!!! Give them $ or anything they want serve them better can't have newcomers unhappy here....

Gtfo Canada is full

FJT

$2M for a house too much? Well dang I thought we're going to $5M :(

Canada is not a sovereign nation, it is owned by the royals. Canada is a corporation lol😅😊

there is no canadian dream. if you’re an immigrant looking for a better life, turn around and go somewhere else, you will claw your way through life over here.

I can confirm this. As a Canadian born person of unemployed disability, having to use public library computers because I recently sold mine to buy household water, I shared desk space with a Middle East immigrant who was applying for work through an American company to go back to the Middle East as an electrician for the gas sector. Canada is so broken that immigrants are actually trying to leave us, leaving the original population to our own messes.

My circle of friends feel that it’s not enjoyable living here. High cost of living with not enough time to enjoy life. Long hours at work and unaffordable housing has pushed young people further out… it’s normal to be driving 20 mins to get groceries and up to 1hr to 1.5h hang out with friends… rather stay home. Leading to feeling isolated and in addition we have very short summers… and very long depressing winters. Some of our friends found opportunities in the U.S and are getting ready to leave. We’re mid 30s, skilled white collar professionals and Canadian citizens in our prime. Would of been considered upper middle class 10 to 15 years ago. Such a shame, Canada will face a brain drain. Lastly, the standard of living is decreasing, basic etiquette is being drowned by the influence of immigration…. Where is Canadian culture and values?

7 million new people in 7 years… It shouldn’t surprise anyone that this will drive up the cost of everything.

And what do our politicians do about high cost of homes? Nothing.... what do we do to show our displeasure? Nothing. We are weak.

How about stop bringing all these people in and giving real Canadians a chance

3 star hotel rating as 5 star, this is true Canada

Thank you, Trudeau voters!

What does the future look like for the average 20 year old? Never mind the immigrants, young Canadian citizens would be smart to look to other pastures as it will take decades to fix this mess and thats only if the country is committed to doing so. Go where you are wanted.

I've been here 4 years and I'm leaving soon. I bought a house last year and its hard now

It’s not just cost of housing, I am Canadian from Burnaby (left Canada 6 years ago) not because of the cost of living but the quality of living, when I used to run in Central park and do my workouts there, now it’s all taken over by homeless people and crime is rampant. I’ve two little daughters horrific murder of Marrisa Shen didn’t settle well with me given I lived meters away from the site where it happened.

Doug Ford needs a wake up call. As much as I would hate Trudeau, Fords politics have ruined Ontario. My mum is leaving and we're going back to our ancestral home in England with my nan.

Good they can all leave.

I have a former classmate who was planning to move to Canada, but decided not to. Instead of moving his family, he spent a month there alone first and determined the place wasn't worth moving to.

As an immigrant, I've been here for 7 years, I was able to buy my condo and still think about leaving, it's ridiculous the amount of taxes we pay here. Not to mention how shit the health system is, most of us go to our native country and in a few weeks we do everything we need, here, you wait for months, sometimes years.

Leaving the province over high costs is the wisest decision one can make!

Canada is done. I lived here all my life. It's shit now. I want to leave this place

How can I have a house full of people and expecting more to arrive if I don't have enough room. And Despite Canada be vast in territories? 🃏 ¿

Prices are soooo high. And we have all the merchants, landlords & the government to blame. Greed.

I left in 2019. My apt. isn’t as “nice” or big but my rent is a fraction of what it would be in Canada. Plus, I don’t need a car now.

You need to find a place to live that is appropriate to your budget, not needs. This guest doesn't seem to understand, people should not be spending more than 50% of their AFTER TAX income to paying rent or carrying a mortgage. To quote the famous Justin Trudeau, " (overpriced) houses must retain their value'. Just this quote alone, should give people pause on why this idiot should continue running this country.

American here. I drove across Canada couple weeks ago from Vancouver to Montreal. I saw homelessness everywhere. I spent the night at Cole Road Rest Stop, just east of Abbotsford, which is not a homeless community of people who couldn't afford housing anymore. Sad.

Came to Canada a few years ago and now a doc serving Canadians. Lots of people not happy with immigration but no Canadian is skillful enough to fill the vacant positions. 😅 and I do admit mass immigration recently wasn’t helpful at all.

Come join us here in Dubai .. we left Canada in February and living the best quality of life… high untaxed salaries and safety .

Many younger people, and retirees have and will leave as well, not just newcomers. Trudeau has broken this country, and it will take a lot of time and effort to fix what he has done.

As a 19yo in Uni in Ontario this whole situation is disheartening. I’d love to live in Canada but when I can buy a house in the US for 1/3rd of the price and make 30% more without paying 40% tax the choice is obvious. I want to go into accounting and really living in Canada is impossible! Both my parents are doctors and have first hand experience talking about how our healthcare is now worse than the US. You wait months for basic care.

Canada 🇨🇦 is a beautiful country! However, there are a lot of lies told about Canada and the opportunities available. The IRCC needs to be realistic about their immigration policy moving forward.

The flood of immigration is destroying Canada. I'm a senior, born in Canada, and find it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. I would move to another country but can no longer afford this.

I just took on a second job. Exactly where I saw myself in my mid 40’s after saving and working my whole life.

forget new comers. I have been here 24 years and I am leaving.

Bunch of rate cut cheer leader jokers bagging for rate cut and convincing people believe inflation is coming down 😂

It's insane. I'm a software developer with 12 years experience and I can't afford a home. Hell I can barely afford my 2 bedroom apartment.

Don’t come our doors are closed

If you are skilled, you can stay in Canada and suffer the rest of your life, or you can get a job in the USA, move there and get way better health care with the company-paid health-care plan your work will give you, and live in a nicer, larger house that will only cost you a small fraction of what a house will cost you in Canada. and save up enough money to retire early, something that is just not possible in Canada anymore.

Leadership is important 🎉

Celebrating my 3rd year anniversary in the U.S. on Independence Day today after growing up and being educated in Canada. So thankful that I was able to move out of Toronto and have a higher quality of life in America. Lower taxes, higher pay, more career opportunity, more affordable.

What about Canadians who can barely afford to live here? Why do we always care more about new arrivals vs Canadians who have been living here their hole lives?

Only 40%? Pump those rookie numbers up! "We have thought of ourselves as the land of milk and honey..." - that there explains your problem. Narcissism.

This is the outcome of financialized housing that went into overdrive during a decade of 'easy money'. The economy is now largely based on housing and one's lot in life depends on how much housing one's family owns. Worse, housing is a poor productivity driver and high debt loads drain on future growth. Canada's real economy has hollowed out. The cost of Canada's failings on housing is emerging now. Canadian and foreign talent not born to real estate wealth will leave because Canada offers them a poor deal. Who wants to pay $3000 a month for a crappy apartment to live near job centers and earn less than one can make in peer countries? This is not the Canada I grew up in where hard working people had a clear path to prosperity--it's increasingly a feudal state dominated by property owners.

BC and ON moving to AB, now Albertan are now ready to go to other provinces like SK or MB

High Taxes is another reason, lack of Healthcare etc . Why live here when you can go to Singapore?

heard the first 18 seconds of what the guy said at the beginning, and a CHORUS went off in my conscience stream... "YOU 40%... PLEASE LEAVE, THANK YOU!!!"

The problem started after the 2008 financial crisis and has grown while our federal govt has been terribly ineffective at discovering the problem until it's too late and then not been effective at dealing with it. Honestly, the federal government is out of touch and needs to get out of Ottawa and be 90% spread across this country instead of being so highly concentrated. It needs to be in all communities it serves and it needs to employ all Canadians and not just those who can speak French and English. With respect to more immigration and being the land of milk and honey, I think we need a new healthier diet 😂. Firstly, all provinces need to be able to control their own immigration to meet their needs just as countries do in Europe. Otherwise only Toronto and Vancouver will grow and that's not good for the country as a whole. Give each province the right to control immigration into their province and recognize that a person can be a citizen of a province without having nationwide citizenship (ie. recognize we are a nation of nations just as in the EU). Secondly, if we invest in productive assets we can improve our productivity and not require so many immigrants. Thirdly, we need to first give Canadians an opportunity to afford to raise a family and to have a larger family. Community integration issues and social conflict are then much fewer, and having kids is such a wonderful experience. We have robbed our children of the most wonderful experience. WE NEED TO SERIOUSLY CHANGE TO MAKE LIFE AFFORDABLE FOR OUR CHILDREN! Forget helping other nations deal with their over population problems!!!! My gosh these countries that keep churning out babies are smart enough to do something about it. Only their rich elite don't want to share the wealth with the poor in their country and that seems to be the big driver of population growth as poor people need children for support and the dream that one child might succeed. Help our children first (Sorry if that sounds a bit like MAGA).😊

Oh belive me no desire done

AB is super expensive, utilities, food, not many jobs here. Rent is crazy here. Calgary is way expensive, think twice before moving to smaller communities.

No ShXt!!!!!!

We need to pump more in housing.

and this situation created artificially

Its so frustrating its hard to buy its hard to rent and harder you work by work second job or doing overtime which is also an hardwork to find one lately...to bring some ease to your life higher the tax cut

We’re number one ☝️ We’re number one ☝️

High rent is the new concern vs over priced groceries

A better way to say it is "Low Living Standards". No doctors, no housing, can't afford food, can't afford gas. 13 hours in the Emergency room. It's a nightmare. It's probably the opposition party's fault.

Canadian Dream! It is the Canadian nightmare

40% want to go it means they shouldn't have came here in the first place. They came here for the wrong reasons. Instead if coming to be a part of building Canada as a society they came for strictly their own financial gain with no loyalty or desire to be Canadian. We need to limit and qualify our immigrants better. Why are you coming? Do you have financial means? Are you aware of costs? Weather? Why do you want to be Canadian? All this needs to be done so we don't become the worlds ATM.

2 in 5 want to leave !!!!!. Ignore housing affordability and that number may rise to 4 in 5.

Alberta has no Job with high utilities and higher insurance and property tax. Don’t believe the KZfaq. Calgary has the second highest unemployment rate, 8.1% in May . It may be even higher in June.

Out out out !

Communism FAILS EVERY place, EVERY time it is tried - China, Canada, California, Colorado

Did she say she had a ladder shed for rent??

Folks ease up a bit on the leaving stuff! It will change! Canadians must not lose hope! Stay and fight to keep your country free!

well when i bought my first house with my stay at home mom with the kids everyday was a work day either on the worksite or crawling under the vehicles fixing them to get to work living in shithole saving money for a down payment for the house things are tough no doubt but it can be done first get a coffe pot stay away from tims and starbucks line ups is a start

Write to your MP and tell them to massively reduce massive immigration before they damage Canada as a whole, damage Canadian services, and Canadian Culture further with pure human bulk.

The video is very good, I like it very much

worse part next generation do not have opportunity to finish study -- end of the future for everybody.

no they moving cause canada not giving visas

if trudeu didnt allow a lot of immigrant ( students, tfw,) in the past 3 years, this chaos wont happen

Done
