We don’t need PhD or high quality people , in Canada we need Uber drivers and Amazon workers to help our cheap labour !

Some Canadians want to also leave…… taxes and quality of affordable living working and life balance…..spent early 20s to early 50s working 60-80 hrs per week and only now realized that all that hard work hasn’t paid off enough for early retirement or a wealthy retirement. Being a generational Canadian we often don’t see the struggle early enough and are told hard work pays off……..it does until you find yourself asking yourself what was all that for, worked and worked to give the government more than you give your family. I would not want to immigrate to Canada.

Leaving because this country is turning into a sh1thole, obvs. Humans aren't infinitely interchangeable carbon blob debt servants like the banks think. Rapid change isn't a strength, it creates confusion suspicion and distrust, all of which harm quality of life.

The main reason behind why groceries, furniture and every kind stuff costs so high in Canada compared to other countries is because, every product that is imported to Canada is like 4k super high quality of stuff. Like let's say for example other countries imports products that are like 720p or even 480p. But people who didn't live out of Canada will never understand this from every single home product to brick to material of every kind in Canada is of 4k quality. So, maintaince of those is 5x times to 10x times more. That's why everything costs so much. If you buy like 10kg of let's say an Indian brand of flour that costs 15 Canadian dollars. Same product will cost you in other places no less than 5-7 dollars. You know why? Because another reason is imported food and materials to Canada is very expensive as well. On top of that the size of the whole country. It's huge. With being most least densely populated country. You add up the transportation costs, the higher quality of the products. Everything adds up.

Well done!! Coming back to a land where general caste people Living with no reservation, labor laws, no work ethics, dirty politics and corruption where your kids will smoke 150 cigarettes per day due to the deteriorating air quality . I am sorry your kids will be deprived of a productive lifestyle if you just follow your emotions. 5 crore cases are pending and four months’ salary will be paid in taxes with nothing in return so dont think you are doing any service to bharat mata by coming back. \n\nIt is better you equip your kids with good family values and traditions and then send them there. If your kids wanna do something in sports west is the place to be. In this country you are just an employee or training to be one unless you got big connections.

Its the quality of live. \nPeople live in parallel society. \nNo connections \nEverything is expnesive \n\n22 years since i came here. Im now thibking about relocating to ??

Moved to Greece in the middle of the pandemic in 2020, and I work more and have a much better quality of life than living in Edmonton Alberta. 7 bags of farm fresh vegetables DELIVERED for 13 euros (about 20 bucks), a kilo of meat from the butcher for around 7 euros.

The man interviewed at the end is why our son left the country for Europe after graduating from Queens. Canadians are addicted to immigration to stay relevant in a way not seen in other countries. There's a smug quality to it all. Oh how wonderful and accepting are we - in contrast to those Trump people to the south. Here in Halifax the changes are both stunning and alienating as the premier seeks to double the province's population by 2060. My family and I immigrated from the U.S. 20 years ago, and I doubt any of us will remain here much longer. Living in Canada has made me realize how Canadian I am not. I actually stand for something. Canada's future is mass immigration and digging things out of the ground and selling them to China and the US.

The scariest thing that could happen in Canada is when doctors and nurses leave Canada and move to US for higher pay and good quality of life. What if healthcare aids leave Canada too and move to US or other better countries that supports them , who will take good care of our elderly? Also teachers are Leaving their professions dies to lack of support from the govt. wake up Canada! Support your people !

Quality of life and public services are far far far better in canada. Yes your average canadian income is far less then those in the US, most jobs and opportunities are better in US but whenever I visit the states and I see their average US citizen, their quality of life, the culture and environment I’m happy to say that you’re better off in canada. Much safer and much cleaner!

Quality of life in Canada is low and the suicide rate is high ? \nChild suicide rates are some of the highest in the world and no public discourse about it. Disgusting place really

Same . Came and went back to Europe as I work remotely . Chose Poland - affordable safe quality of life is good and real estate even to buy is ok . For now at least

Yes, the biggest regret...I was just forced by my husband here. All I say after 14 years....No Values...Heartless....95% Ive seen are Sad miserable people that are merely existing and never know the definition of quality life. Its like a prison ....when you step in to any store or clinic you always see the signs...VERBAL ABUSE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED ,POLICE WILL BE NOTIFIED. ....but these people are the first ones to treat with disrespect and they hate you when you ask questions!

Fake visitors from sh!thole countries are dropping in Canada and seeking asylum and then lead to taxpayers' welfare handouts. Our immigration system is totally broken. We need quality migrants who can contribute to the Canadaian economy, not the quantity who comes here to live off our taxpayers. Send those back as fast as they came. There are also some criminals, etc. Sliding through this broken system we have. All because of Trudy and his minions running the country to grounds.

So 10 is going back daily, but 3000 is coming in to Canada, :). No way they are going back to that shithole in India, with the poorest air quality in the world, even if they have to live 10 per 500 sq ft. apt.

I left Canada almost 4 years ago. The quality of life outside Canada is much higher and you can actually afford to live a high quality lifestyle. I would never move back to live there full time again. It's too expensive, the taxes are way too high and the quality of life is worse than a 3rd world country. \n\nIf you are currently living in Canada I would suggest to leave as soon as you can and build options in other countries around the world.

Ma Sha Allah. High quality commanding reply.

Is because turdope only brings his favor previleged middle east friends, because they are the ones who can breed by the dozens, and thats what turdope wants QUANTITY OF POPULATION AND NOT QUALITY OF WORKERS..

Canada is a dying country. The quality immigrants have stopped coming to Canada

The crazy no knowledge Trudo Singh government ideas and policies killed our Canadians quality of life , Canadian kids' higher education, their work force and future now parents are feeding their daily food to the kids the like third world countries ?

The USA in in worst situation , u have to work 80 hours a week to survive, all tbe dreams r gone, worst quality of life in the planet worst than a African countries , they r poor but they r not slaves from tbe government.

Im surprised we still qualify as G7, the quality of life has gone down significantly due to ridiculous quantities of immigration.

Lots of Indians here in Belleville Ontario. Great immigrants. Great quality of life. Jobs available. Canada is a big place. Come one come all.

Wow! Completely unaffordable with jaw-dropping level of decline in quality of life…. yet so surprised ?\nI also really dig the “Canadian Dream” expression ?

Yea, I guess I’m the only not seeing a problem here. People come and go when they’re chasing money, that’s the bottom line. A goal in life should be to get to a point where you can choose where you want to live based on lifestyle and quality of life factors, and not be confined to the little town or village where you were born.

Good for canadian. Qualities over quantities

It’s a zhithole, cheapest house in poorest province is 300,000 while salaries are 45,000 a year where you take home 30,000 in a year for high taxes but people are so stupid that just won’t stop immigrating cuz they think is just like the US where you work hard and you are rewarded. Canada is not. The more you work the higher taxes you pay. Life is expensive , housing is in crisis and healthcare is gone. But philipinos indians and Africans won’t stop coming here thinking that lifestyle is similar to US where only cultural and languages are shared. Quality of life it’s worst and worst every year. Thanks to our honourable prime minister narcissist and tyrant JT.

I’ve been using that exact same french press every day for past 7 years. Very high quality.

Moved to Canada for college (very low quality education as I found out later), fled immediately after graduating, total garbage place, especially Toronto where I was based

Canada is a mess. Way too many immigrants coming here with no money, no skills, totally useless. Housing and rent are impossible, healthcare is exploding under the stress and quality of care has greatly suffered. Crime has exploded in all major cities. There are cheaper and better places to go than Canada.

I could of sworn this video was about Australia. Very similar issues which are eroding quality of life big time. Very interesting video, thanks for sharing.

No future in Canada, the quality of life is horrible

I have lived in UK, Australia, US and Canada. I spent 2 years in UK, 1 year in Australia then moved to US for my masters where I also worked for 6 years. So total of 8 years in US, I moved to India and had adjustment issues. Then 1.5 year later I moved to Canada as permanent resident. After 2 years, I ended up leaving Canada back to India. Some people suggested wait for another 13 months and return with Canadian citizenship but I had enough. What I have realized is, for tech/scientific roles, Canada or other countries are no match for the US. \nAlso, Americans are much kinder and open than people in Canada/UK/Australia. All these countries are expensive, quality of work and pay is not good. I was getting 150K CAD in Canada, where I pay 2100 CAD as 1 BHK rent. In India, I make 90K CAD and 2 BHK rent is 400 CAD. To me, America has no replacement, that's why people dont want to leave the US. I was not willing to spend whole life waiting for green card, and other countries are no match for US. That's why came back to India fro second time, despite the issues here.

I feel sorry to see all these news about Canada. Canada is a beautiful country it values family. Instead of granting visa to high school graduates they should welcome more to family sponsorship, professional graduate students on the funded program. Canadian take student loan from government to fund thier undergraduate program. People chose to immigrate for quality of life and experience new things. It is very disappointed to mobe to that country where the housing is top challenges and affordability. The consutlant offices has to be penalized for selling canadian pr. The strong action from canadaim government is necessary. Punish those criminals who have ruined other life foe thier own earnigs.

Canada is the best country in the world. Many are keen to move because they see Canada as a place offering a good quality of life, relative safety, beautiful landscapes and a decent health-care system.

This is a fairytale ghost country where people are not encouraged to do creative things like innovation and business entrepreneurship, everything is capped by tax and government beaucracy. Here people buy lowest quality of products with highest price. See their roads and highways, not really of an advanced country, just better than South Asia or some African countries.This became a ghost country

Everybody has its own point of veiw ,I have been here from last 8years I made best decision to move here in terms of education ,health and quality of life 2 months is no experience at all

Quick summary of video:\n\nGeneral Sentiment in Canada \n-Over half of Canadians are angy about the country's management, and two-thirds feel it's deeply broken. \n-Economic worries with decline in quality of life are prevalent.\n \nHousing Crisis \n-Canada faces one of the world's least affordable housing markets like USA \n-Property values have doubled in the last decade, making home ownership and rent unaffordable. \n-Local governments' reluctance to increase housing stock exacerbates the crisis.\n \nEconomic Challenges \n-Canadians face high costs for groceries, banking fees, cell phone charges, and air travel. \n-Monopolies dominate industries, resulting in inflated prices and decreased competition. \n-Canada's wealth relies heavily on commodity exports, leading to a shortage of well-paid jobs.\n \nDecline in Public Services \n-Despite its reputation, Canada's public services, particularly healthcare, have declined. \n-Canadians increasingly feel they won't receive proper medical care in emergencies. \n-Canada's healthcare system ranks poorly compared to other OECD countries.

Reason of Leaving Canada - Poor quality of Life, this comes from India where in metropolitan city you cant even breathe. We are in shambles but you know others are not doing well. Height of hypocrisy.

I think it is the quality of the immigrants that come to Canada that needs to be analysed. If too many low skilled or people with unemployable skills are granted visas, then any country, let alone Canada, would seem like a tough country to settle and earn. Canadian govt seems to be lenient in allowing too many unemployable ppl to get into the country. This has resulted in an imbalance. It just needs a strong govt which Canada lacks at this point in time. 90% of the problems can be solved within 4 to 5 years if govt stops or regulates visas.

Canada is becoming worse every day anyway!!! Salary are low (while cost of living is skyrocketing), which is why we have so many Canadians and immigrants who are becoming so anxious, depressed and facing all sorts of mental problems), people are moody, quality of life is decreasing and transport is trash compared to France and the lack for doctors is making this country look like a third world\nEconomy!!! Even Canadians are happy to leave this place (poor weather, lousy healthcare, lousy retirement compared to places like France, lousy transportation compared to most of Europe, worse mental health services than Europe, people are too serious and take things so seriously compared to the French) and honestly, we think of leaving it too for another country.. that you can trust me! (My 2 younger sisters are actually leaving and makes plans to leave Canada behind for good to immigrate elsewhere and my older brother plans to relocate to a warmer country.\n.. and NO!! I am not going to buy a 1 million dollar house in Vancouver or Toronto at the expense of my well being!!! It ain’t worth it no more!!! Better buy a place in Europe.. like France or Portugal!!!! There houses cost 2 to 3 times less.. sometimes more if you know where to buy!!! I do not want to end up lonely and alone in this cold and anti-social society that Canada is once I retire.. do you?? https://youtu.be/yQiwNepxHv0?

Im leaving as well, i'll be here for oil and gas work to suck money out of the economy then ill spend it in Balkans/South East Asia. Can live way cheaper and have way higher quality of life there

Canada might have a best quality of life so stay there ???

Problem is these sham universities. They are con institutions and con poor people $. Let’s stop them, there will be less such international students who won’t end up without a quality education

Many people who have commented with negative sentiments are not really aware how it's elsewhere especially in poor countries. If someone is looking a basic life, definitely you can manage a job , basic amenities and lot of safety. If someone is looking good quality life with decent savings , that's possible provided if he or she take additional degree and start working in intermediate roles regardless of the business. Having certain specific religious background could help since this society gives lot of importance to your religious background, whether you believe it or not. I am not saying society is intolerant but admin is highly biased. Income tax is there in almost all OECDs, if you are still not liking it , well, you know who to elect next time .

He has lots of valid complaints, says life was good and stable back in Nigeria, doesn't recommend Canada to others who have stable situations back home, says we should be building Africa, says quality of life is better in Nigeria, says he faces racial discrimination in Canada, says money goes further in Nigeria, but he's... staying here? \n\nGot it.

JT screaming going to build more homes faster, means home quality will drop and in 2030's the problem will be home issues (potentially structural)
