As a Canadian I agree with. Canada has fallen apart since Justin Trudeau became prime minister. Canadians don't want to live here.

I find it hilarious that so many foreigners want to move to Canada, while more and more Canadians (including myself) are looking to move somewhere more affordable with much better weather. lol

Born and raised in Canada. My advice to anyone thinking of immigrating here, come with a LOT of financial support base established AND a gameplan on longterm income. If you come here with just a dream, you will find yourself in a nightmare. Things are changing here and it is going to get much, MUCH more challenging before it gets better. Source - a random canadian viewer @ 70k/yr who lives pretty humbly and still struggle financially. Not a very good time to move here.

I was born in Canada. I’m retired and she is right. You better be very rich if you come here or you will live in poverty. By the way, winters are long and very cold for 7 months.

As a Canadian who wants to leave my own country, here’s my advise to foreigner: don’t come here! It’ll be your big mistake ever!

If you are well-established (friends, family, land or house ownership, being native in your country) in your country, I don't see any point of going to Canada. I have seen a lot of examples of people regretting their decisions. Desolate suburbs, insane house prices, car centric soulless lifestyle, polite but shallow social interactions, stagnant wages, and crime (yes, soft crime is surprisingly high). There is a reason why Canada mostly attracts immigrants from really really poor, unsafe and undeveloped countries because others go to other destinations or stay wherever they are. World is not what it used to be, stay in your safe zone and try other types of adventures, imo.

Healthcare workers in Canada are over worked and underpaid especially since the cost of living is so high and increasing and because I work in healthcare nearing retirement and haven’t had a raise in over five years !

In Quebec law 21 is promoting the laicity of the state. It is not against muslims, but against civil service employees in position of authority showing religious symbols. It applies to all religions.

Honestly a lot of these issues are in Australia too ( I'm Australian ) And we have many people coming here. Every country has its pros and cons

After living 7 years in Canada (GTA) I realized that the country is only getting worse and worse and everyday more expensive. All those progressive measures (abortion, euthanasia, drugs support and so on) only makes it worse.

I moved to Canada in 2009 and just couple months ago I was finally able to find a family doctor. I am waiting for a knee surgery for the past 8 months and a friend of a friend who was waiting for the same kind of surgery for the past 5 years decided to go to US and pay for his surgery because he was struggling with his life quality.

You don't mention the "non-silent" prejudice against the Indigenous population. That is always very acceptable. Also, why is the word "immigrant" now only expected to be somebody South Asian, Chinese, Black, etc? In Toronto, no matter where you go, if one is Caucasian, one is definitely the "visible minority".

I think something worth mentioning is the quality of food sold here. It is pricey and low quality, especially fresh produce and fruit - much of it picked unripe in central America and shipped thousands of km to be sold on Canadian grocery shelves. If you're in a hurry, it's difficult to find an inexpensive and healthy option, like in many other countries. Your selection is largely limited to TIm Hortons and other fast food chains, which don't generally offer nutritious choices.

As a East European working in the poorest Canadian neighbourhood I get the both ends of the racism - white people call me a f... immigrant, native people and non white call me a f... white man. Also government jobs are not about being able and capable to do that job, it is all about playing politics. I deeply regret moving here.

I appreciate that positive music on the background! THANK YOU )

Great video- well done! Thanks!

Being born in Canada I was proud of our multiculturalism and believed Canada was the greatest but as an adult I don't understand why people would want to live here. I pay over 40% of my income to the government for all the things that make Canada great but it is just not that way. My taxes help pay for programs that I am not eligible for because before taxes I make too much money but after taxes my take home is the amount that qualifies for programs but that's not how the system works. I need the program because I help pay for it but can't use it because of having money that is not considered to be mine. According to the CRA the money I pay the government in taxes does not and has never belonged to me but that same government labels that tax money as mine in order to deny me the programs I help pay for. It is a good idea to leave Canada if you can. There is no future for the working class except servitude to the government.

I moved to Canada in 2003, I think over the past few years things really took a turn for the worst and alot of the issues we're encountering now are mostly a result of government incompetency 1) Instead of focusing on treatment and recovery we prioritized harm reduction and drug decriminalization which largely results in the current mental health/addiction crisis 2) Instead of seeing housing as a public need, policies make housing investment vehicles (notably for rich folks in foreign countries) and locals can't really afford to buy or rent as a result 3) Instead of building mass transit infrastructure including subways/light rail we continue to be extremely car-centric, most Canadians can't get around without a car but also can't really afford one due to all the costs associated with ownership. 4) Government continues to cut back on healthcare spending despite an aging population across the country And one nongovernment-related aspect which is NIMBYism -- endless delays/protests on all major projects because someone is afraid their backyard views might be obstructed or some old trees might be cut.

As a born and bred (68 year old) Canadian on BC's lower mainland, I totally agree with their take.

On point video and nicely edited, agree with everything highlighted in here

One of the biggest problems is the ban on washing machines in apartments, when even in the third world countries everyone has a personal washing machine in their apartment since the 60s of the last century. it's terribly disgusting and unsanitary to wash your clothes together with hundreds or thousands of other residents of the building in one washer or in a city laundry.

I came to study to Canada in the 90s, lived and worked here for 8 years, left Canada and always wanted to come back. My dream came true more than 20 years later, I got a very good job in Montreal in 2020, but to find out that the health care system is extremely deteriorated. I decided am going back home soon. My goal is to be back in Europe by 2024. I may have a lower salary, but I will be able to see a doctor when I need it. Thank you for making this video. I felt I was being exagerated about the health care problem.

Thank you for opening my eyes!

This is a very insightful video. Thanks for sharing.

I pay 50 pesos in Mexico ( like 3.50 dollars) to see a regular doctor and get a prescription, I really thought that it was this great country that TV portrays to be, but the more I learn from it, the more I understand how good I have it in my country.

I’ve visited Canada a few times. The place baffles me. It’s basically an economic zone with no cultural personality. The only thing Canadians seem to believe in is being “really nice” and passively accepting anything and everything that is “progressive.” What is the point of Canada?

Thank you for this. Very illuminating

First, I want to thank you for making this video. The health of a country, or the health of an individual which are clearly linked, is dependent on our ability to see ourselves and each other, and make necessary changes to improve in the areas that we lack personally, and as communities in our beautiful country of Canada and other countries as well. Well, it’s a work in progress. I appreciate how you’ve inspired us to speak about things that aren’t necessarily spoken about. At least not where I live and have lived in Canada. Thank you so much for that opportunity. It doesn’t matter about my opinion. What matters is sharing our own thoughts, feelings, and experiences because they aren’t debatable. We are in violation of Multiple Human Rights violations against Inuit , Indigenous and Métis people by the United Nations. Most have no water to drink-not even boiled water and bottled water is available sometimes when it’s brought to reservations . Children don’t have the same access to books. So many thousands of bodies of children taken to residential schools from their parents arms and community for over 160 years yet the deep wounds aren’t given compassion by most people anymore and systemic abuse actively impacts them and therefore all of Us . We are all one whether we see people as other’ or not. We’re humans. They’re not seen in media unless it’s a bad story yet we’re only now teaching one mandatory class by non indigenous people. Solution: elders teach their grandchildren languages that weren’t erased by genocide and environmental /spiritual cultural practices and lifestyles before they’re gone by paying first people elders and streaming it into all Canadian classrooms so the children can see a future where they’re valued and all Canadian kids can get a full education and learn accurate history. Making canoes, baskets, sacred ceremonies, food growing (that they taught to pilgrims so they’d survive here), etc. No, I’m not indigenous. I’m an immigrant like all but the first people. They’ve an amazing culture that’s been all but lost . When we don’t see ourselves represented in any media, any careers, and start our lives in extended poverty based on our race, and all that was taken still today, it’s no wonder the teen suicide rate for indigenous youth is more than double / triple all non - indigenous youth. The numbers are growing. I live in Care due to my physical disabilities . An international nursing student worked for me providing personal care like showers, meal prep etc and over that year, she said she wouldn’t have moved here specifically because of a few things I’ve mentioned. She told me Canada was sold to people in her country of origin as a ‘multicultural’ safe haven without extreme racism still prevalent today and within our history. I’m ashamed of Canadian government promises for over 100 years that aren’t fulfilled. All children deserve healthy drinking Water and an education. Period. Especially, the ambassadors of this amazing land that they see as themselves without separation. That’s accurate. We will have nothing to stand upon if we don’t protect the earth. It will go on without us. I see many things in the comments I’ve seen or experienced, unfortunately. This is a beautiful country for so many reasons. It’s important that from such abundance we listen to your video, look at ourselves honestly and i feel, be the change we want to see in the world like Gandhi said. Much love and healing from an All inclusive advocate. All life matters.

I'm a Canadian and it's been 10 years I am not able to get a Doctor where I am living . :( My mother was diabetic and she had to purchase her needles but druggies are given there needles for there addiction to keep them SAFE. :(

I was born and raised in canada and 8 years ago we just gave up. My family decided that enough was enough and left our beloved country. I miss a lot of things. I miss the snow and the friendly neighbours but honestly: its so much better in this poor, almost third-world country on the edge of europe. For everyone who wants to move to canada: pls dont do that. You will regret it.

Thank you for this video 😮

amazing videos thank you.

No wonder Kenyan nurses sell like hotcake in Canada. Again, I know several that have moved from Canada to the US coz of course, the poor pay.

Thank you for sharing these incisive contents! Your videos have helped me a lot!

I needed to do a case study, so I think I'll pick some of the topics mentioned in the video!

Thanks for info

Just subscribed because I had NO other chance with the super accurate information provided here ! Our politicians should look for these independent researchers to at least try to fix some of our problems! GOOD JOB 👍

Great content on your channel, I’m 53 and my wife and I reached $1M net worth in 2017, five years later it’s $2.4M. Our yearly salary is a little over $100K. We drive older cars, cook at home, eat leftovers, and have 2 in college. We saved for college and our boys help by working. They will graduate debt free.

pretty helpful!

The law in Québec applies to all religious symbols and has nothing about it that specifically targets Muslims. Wanting our public servants in positions of authority to not show allegiance to any religion is a legitimate endeavour and has nothing to do with discrimination, just like preventing them from wearing political symbols is not discrimination either.

In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become the North Korea of the western world.

Thank you for this video! This is another reality of Canada 😥

In northern Ontario, internet companies like Ontera (now owned by Bell) only offer 10 mbps at $120 a month. I tried Starllink but its currently not available here. It was but as of right now, I couldn't get Starlink if I wanted it today.

Thank you, for all that you do!!! Happy New Year!!!"Courage is the first step to change, and persistence is the key to success." - Winston Churchill🙂

Horror! I left Canada some 20+ years ago and always wanted to go back. Just found out that the treatment waiting time in BC is 27.4 weeks! And it's common for people in BC wait for 5+ years without a primary doctor. The incentive to move back in my nostalgia has largely diminished.....You would think that voter in a democratic country would have gotten this fixed fast! What are the politicians doing?

It doesn't cost 1/2 a salary to hire someone. Some provinces like Alberta also allow probationary hiring periods of up to six months.

Lifetime Canadian who works HR at gov. in Alberta, can confirm all things you said are very accurate.

Hi, thanks for the great insight into some background information about Canada. To be honest, this really puts me off continuing my imitation process to Canada.

Very good video as always 👍 Thank you guys.

This was a good one, as always!

This is an interesting overview of Canada and its many issues. I would love to see a follow up video or two looking into these same issues but from a few different perspectives. 1) regionally - Canada is very diverse so our regions are quite different in culture, problems and cause of each. The major regions are: Maritimes/Ontario/Quebec/Prairies/West Coast/ Territories. 2) because of our diverse landscape different races are attracted to different areas. I have not studied this impact on our racism and political issues but would love to see someone like you do so. It appears to me that immigrants are disproportionately gathered along the US/Canada border and big cities, particularly east and west coast. First Nations are disproportionately populated in Rural and northern areas where resources overall are less available to all races. I would expect to find that this population disbursement would also reflect in our political leadership. For example more populated cities are far more likely to have immigrant own businesses and politicians, In rural and northern communities politicians are more likely to be white because First Nations politicians would be more inclined to work within the First Nations political channels where they can actually do more good for their communities. 3) The diversity that makes up 'white' as a race. It appears to me that Canada historically has been more inclined to attract 'White' races versus other 'colours'. We have large populations of British, Swedish, Irish, Russian, Ukrainian, French, Norwegian, and Polish to name a few. All of which have large diversity in their culture and history but are often classified as 'white'. 4) The massive impact the past 5 + years of politics and world affairs have had on the divisions within Canada. Personally I see and feel far, far more judgements between races, economics and regions than ever before.

Useful ❤

I'm impressed with your content here. Great work. 👏

The fundamental problem with Canada and this also applies to many other advanced economies is that housing costs have been allowed to skyrocket.High immigration in combination with low interest rates and certain tax breaks and buyer incentives have all combined to cause this.What this means is that the average citizen is now paying too much out of their income in either rent or house repayments and this reduces spending in the rest of the economy and is a relatively wasteful use of capital so wealth creation has also declined.Australia,New Zealand the UK and Netherlands and parts of the US have also fallen into this vortex.

Thanks ladies! That was by far the most informative "problems with moving to Canada/reality check video" that I've seen.

Thank you for having the courage to make this video.

Living in QC for 5 years now. Took me more than a year to get my family doctor. He dumped me a year after our first appointment. I had to re-register to get a one assigned to me and everytime I contact them they tell I have to wait. Have no family doctor since then. Think I'll probably be living elsewhere/abroad when they get me a new doctor.

Thanks for sharing. Another things to learn daily ❤❤

Great video I am Canadian and here there is something that is or may be confusing to foreigners and has to do with terminology. Now the examples you gave may confuse people it is important to distinguish "income tax" that is tax you pay on your revenu and sales tax that like you said are when you are buying a product. Depending on the province they are around 13-15%. There are many other taxes that one pays. City taxes. Taxes on garbage, alcohol, when you move to a place, telecomunication taxes etc. So the average Canadian see more thant 50% of his salary go into taxes. Here a good accountant is a must if you want to save some money. And despite taxes healthcare is a total mess, an absurd mountain of stupidity. Canada has many advantages but low taxes are not one of them.

Canadian racism exists. I moved in February from Ireland. I used to work for Google and Meta. So, yesterday I was rejected by board of directors to become a manager at the company because I’m a newcomer and not yet Canadian!!!! As a result, our manager is a high school graduate who’s been working for our company for 5 years. I’m shocked. I quit.

Actually, in Québec Canada, you can wait several years before getting a family doctor. I moved to Sherbrooke Québec Canada and I got my family doctor after my diabetic and eye doctors. I waited a bit over 4 years before I got a family doctor.

You both always rock 💕

Not to mention that most Uber drivers are either immigrant doctors, engineers or lawyers because they can’t get a job with their degrees 😮 sad but true 🇨🇦

Alot of these were bang on

One thing about the discrimination in Canada that I would like to point out is that minority groups also discriminate against other minority groups. Black people in Canada also have to deal with discrimination from other non black minorities.

It is impossible to live in Canada when you are retired. My wife's pension(starting next year) and my current one amounts to about $3.000, while the average rent for a one bedroom apartment goes up to $2000. While we don't pay for prescribed medicines, as retirees, still we have to deal with utilities,clothing,food and transportation, let alone anything else, with the little left from our pensions. Moving to a smaller city (we presently live in Toronto), involves the purchase of a car since good transportation is non existing in smaller towns.Cost of cars, insurance, fuel and taxes will make the move to a "cheaper" place to vanish in no time. This once an amazing nation is becoming less and less attractive, even to younger people with a solid education. Soon enough this one will be an empty country bringing more immigrants whom will have to live like sardines in tiny apartments; only time will tell for how long this approach will last. In the end the so called third world countries will be full of retired people and young ones trying to make a decent living. Winter on its own is something we all tolerate in here, for obvious reasons, but living like crap it is not in the plans of anyone. Greetings from Toronto.

This is an excellent video and I'm glad you took the time to make it. The concentration of the banking system is a big problem that prevents a lot of innovation.

Well this totally shattered my thoughts of leaving the USA. Great video, much thanks!

Even though I've never set foot on Canadian soil and probably never will, I'm at a complete loss wondering exactly what does one have to do to visit their own flesh and blood in Canada? How do we convince the immigration officials who review our visa applications from 3rd world countries that "Hey, after my visit, I will leave peacefully, I have no intentions of remaining as an illegal immigrant and becoming a major burden on my loved ones" I have family in Canada, I will leave the name of the province out (for obvious reasons). All I wanted was to visit my family for a month/30 days and I'd leave, I was gonna travel with my 2 small children and my wife, for a family vacation, that's all that was going to be, but the baffoon who reviewed my application came to the conclusion that I'd end up becoming an illegal immigrant :

Excellent video! No country is perfect, and it's good to know the pros and cons of any country so that you have realistic expectations.

I can say that it wasn't always like this in Canada. In the 60s, 70s, and into the 80s no one cared what you looked like, but the difference was we were all the same culture for the most part, even if we had different skin colour - then the concept of multiculturalism began, and it has started a trend toward balkanisation, with many people only interacting with their own communities, and in fact some participating in protests on the street which have nothing to do with Canada. I think some of the propaganda we see by the mainstream media fuels this divide because it is always one sided, with questionable accuracy. For example, if you look at Toronto's most wanted, how is that list our fault? Crimes that were almost unheard of when I was a kid are now a regular occurrence. There are people who have been welcomed in who openly state that they hate the west (see Younus Kathrada - "wishing someone Merry Christmas is worse than murder") for example, and Said Rageah "Evils of disunity." At this point I would gladly move to Europe, but most of those countries have also changed for the worse; just check travel advisories to Sweden, Germany, France, Belgium, and the UK on the government of Canada website.

You hit all the right topics here. Thanks!

I was born in Canada, and lived to see the change from traditional values to this mess... 1 - homelessness the rents and other things went up, and welfare does nt match it. even minimum wage does nt cover it in some cases, it s a given that you will finish on the sidewalk, and that does that many will turn to drinking and drugs. it will not last long however, as winter comes and there are nt enough shelters, so they conveniently die. you could invest billions, it will not help if you have bad management, you have to dig deeper... 2 - racism it s a bit of a backward country in that sense, many rural areas were very late in receiving immigrants, so they re not used to see diversity, unlike the US lets say, so there are parts of the country where acceptation will be low, they will discriminate and gossip for sure, but it s more backward as it is racism. in time, when they get to know you, it goes away, and they realise how dumb they were. I live in Quebec, and you can blame feminism for that, they see Muslims as a symbol of patriarchy and feel threatened. 3 - medical it s been like that since about the 90s, again, bad management made the system crash for some reason. I admit that I m not sure of what happened exactly there, not enough doctors for sure. maybe it has to do with income, as they can get more revenue in the US or elsewhere. I suspect that hospitals s management - administration is too slow and crowded, but I m no expert. 4 - technology yeah, well, it s expensive here, cell contracts, internet, probably because of distance, but I suspect that we re being cheated a little too, and since again, we re a bit backward, we re used to the old methods. we re not fast to adopt new trends or fashion either, it s very traditional here mostly. 5 - taxes we have federal and provincial taxes, plus purchase taxes, so yeah, we pay a lot of them. exactly, it can vary from 30 - 60% for sure, overtime does nt pay that much, 2 nd jobs can build you a big bill. you re better to save on expenses than trying to earn more, you have to be cheap. 6 - Canadian experience I m born here, but I heard of many stories about immigrants s credentials not fitting the local standards. in some cases, it sounds ridiculous, and closed minded, not accepting outside concepts and ideas. I did nt know about speaking English, but I sure know about French in Quebec... here, it s very insecure about the language, almost paranoid, without speaking French, you will have many troubles. again, it s mostly about bad management, and rules and mentality that self sabotage. 7 - housing like mentioned before, the real estate in general has jumped tremendously. I m no financier expert, but an overview of economy tells me that banks compete between countries, and they will recourse on artificially inflating the value of real estate, and that plainly kills people. this is the main reason of the homelessness you see on the streets. yeah, the soundproofing is quite poor, and some very old buildings can cost a lot in heating. 8 - well, crime is on the rise, and citizens supporting the law and public safety is not very encouraged by the system in place. in some way, you re better to shut up than supporting the police... this has to change! 9 - the social services are biased, and impose their vision if you want help. 10 - the mental health policy is too wide, and makes you ill instead of helping. 11 - the pharmaceutical companies are too influencing, and make people sick instead of helping. 12 - the food regulation is lacking, it is not strict enough, allowing chemicals, gmo, and radiation. 13 - feminism is almost radical, especially in Quebec, they segregate genders, and dividing us, it makes the country weak. otherwise, you pretty much covered it well. good work sissses.

Good observations

I am a telecom engineer I came to Canada in 2019 as a master student. I accepted to work as cable technician but what is really strange that all my community were happy that I am able to find a job in technical sector! Although i am over over qualified! I applied for pr since 2021 until now no answer!

Been living here in the nation’s capital since Oct 2nd of 2010. In less than 10 days, I was EXTREMELY OVERWHELMED by the number of homelessnesses & those with mental illness. Something that I never expected in a capital city of a G8 nation. Hope things do get better …. Someday .

I work at two different jobs and I try to max my RRSP contribution room each year in order not to pay higher taxes. I pay CPP, EI, and income taxes twice every pay check.

Hello I like your videos.good information

I love your videos😍

Great video. Just returned from a full day in the emergency room at BC Children's Hospital in Vancouver. After 3 visits over the last few months for my 2 children my opinion is that the health care delays are more due to complacency and a lack of focus on efficiency than anything else. On our last visit, the comment from a nurse was "today's 8 hour wait is not bad, last week it was 15 hours". That shows how there is a general acceptance of mediocrity here.

I'm from Canada. My friend had a heart attack on a ski hill. He was promptly given a full bypass surgery, recovered in hospital and discharged. No charge. That would be a life ending event in the US, if not by dying from the heart attack, from financial devastation. I have always been treated well and thoroughly tested when needed. I would NEVER consider supporting privatization. I was quoted $400.00 US when in Hawaii for a round of penicillin. Here $15.00 Canadian

Woah, this made me ask myself if I really want to study in Canada for some years...

Nice vid.

The wait time for my specialist appointment which was upgraded to urgent is 8-12 months. In my home country I can be seen in 2 days if I pay for the visit which is relatively affordable. Here, there is no alternative. Every single time you have a problem it’s a nightmare. I know multiple MDs(literally) from my home country who would come here to practice medicine but the red tape is insane and exorbitantly expensive. I’m in Ottawa.

Thanks for sharing! Could you make a video about pension system in Canada? If it depends on salary and number of years worked. Does the savings come from taxes for retirement or does the government pay some standard amount regardless of earnings? etc.

Hey, got a question for you! Looking to move to canada soon as a game developer, but the high cost of living and terrible healthcare (because i have adhd) will definitely affect me. Do you think in acouple years the costs and healthcare will be fixed/better?

I'm Canadian; lived abroad for several years (in Europe). I returned here a few years ago and one of the things I love about Canada, which I really noticed was contrasting to Europe, is that we are not afraid to be self-critical (even extremely so), to re-visit the injustices in our past, acknowledge them, and work to try to rectify them. Also, there is a strong sense of community: most Canadians want to help improve their communities and help our fellow citizens. There are indeed some serious problems, as there are in all other countries, and we hope to overcome them and improve our society by working together. For me, one of the beautiful things about a country, what makes its society really interesting and even attractive, is our ability to constantly recognizing our mistakes and faults and try to improve upon them.

Great informative video 🔥.. Looking forward for more such content

Like you being honest about Canada , I subscribed to your channel because it's interesting.

Ive lived in canada all my life, and i think the last time i had a doctor was about twenty five years ago maybe, and also ive been on a list for a doctor now for about two years.

My daughter is in first year medical, she has no intention in staying . Go where you are appreciated .

Having visited and worked in Canada, it is certainly not a country I would want to live. Each to his own.

Hey, I would love to see you explaining the “convoy” thing. What’s your opinion? I understand it’s rather controversial

Some of these points are so spot on. Doctor's who only communicate by phone, difficult to move money across the border, overpriced phone plans - living in Canada you wouldn't even notice this because it's always been this way, but coming from a developed nation like in Europe it's really stark.

Long time ago Canada did not have beggars and homeless. I saw the first beggar 30 years ago and I was in disbelief. The homeless came much much later. 50 years ago in the so called 'bad' district, I saw merely two intoxicated persons staggering about. Today, there are hundreds if not thousands of addicted people on the streets in the same area. I am an old person, thereby the time perspective. Is this progress?

arrived here in Canada last august and agree on everything you mentioned.

Great video. The Us & Canada seem to be similarly alone when it comes to tax application. Sales taxes are applied the same way in both Canada & the US, on top of the sales price. This is shocking at first until you get used to it, if you ever do... income taxes are also similar, filing tax reports federally and in some cases by province or state. FYI, for folks with multiple jobs, one should be able to complete a tax form so their employer does not take the personal tax exemption. means lower pay but less surprise come tax time. Agree on employment & technology, seems like Canadians need to see new tech elsewhere before they adopt... and experience outside Canada not being counted is something many companies and governments here are looking to address, but the pace is slow

Glad to know

Would you tell us about assisted suicide laws. I heard only a 3 week waiting period and as young as age 14.

ok I live in Canada in Quebec to be precise, I'm from Latin America originally but became a Canadian Citizen a few years ago. I'm not white, I can tell you that the examples that you chose to demonstrate silent or systemic racism are fallacies, that doesn't mean that there is no racism, there is racism in every country in the World. But to point out that because the leadership of mayor companies are mainly 'White', it's not prove of systemic racism, you didn't say anything for example of median age of the different populations, that is an important factor in economic advancement of a population and helps to explain why some groups may be more prevalent in higher paid jobs than others. For example, according to Statistics Canada and the latest census you can see that the black population is around 2% of the total population of the Country, but more over a huge chuck of that population is not only young, but recent immigrants from the last 30 years or so. Maybe you should read some Thomas Sowell to have a more broad perspective instead of 'denouncing' racism gratuitously
