Sounds just like Australia lol

this is kindof where australia looks like it's headding, the 2 cooles countries I¡d thought I'd live in are the ones worse of by their goverments bruh

The description of Canada, high cost of living, monopolies, high cost of housing, declining health care...is exactly the same as Australia...as all those things are also happening in Australia...

?UK AUSTRALIA NZ HELL

Just look at exchange rates between Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Aussie is soring against the latter two which have been destroyed under successive socialist governments resulting in net emigration away from them. Australia, with its centre left, is doing slightly better, at least people are still coming here, but the telltale signs are there as people are fleeing overpriced Sydney which is the immigration hotspot here.

Remember that the standard of living has dropped in Canada so a lot of British have left or never bothered to leave the UK for Canada or they moved to Australia for a better life. There are are lot of expats doing well in Spain aswell who have built up businesses there. Canada would be the last place I would go to if I had a choice.

This is happening everyway around the world. Happening in Australia, Malta, Italy, France, New Zealand.\nStop the greedy politicians do this.

An indian colleague advised me to move from Australia to Canada before I'm 35 so I can eligible to apply for permanent residency. I entertained the idea for a few months, ultimately deciding to stay put in Australia. Home's the best. Grass is not always greener on the other side.

Come to Melbourne, Australia.

The nightmare is all the Indians moving to Australia and Canada please stay home we both have a housing shortage

same here in Australia the very sad thing you notice is there are no indian people that are homeless the same here what is going on

Please do a video for australia ??

Same here in Australia Melbourne. It sucks

That's Australia basically.

Just like Australia. Indians everywhere

I got my permanent residency in Canada (my spouse is Canadian)\nAnd I ended up giving it up and moving back to Australia because it is such an actual dumpster fire in Canada right now. I’ve spent many years moving back and forth on and off.

Saudi is very smart as they themselves do not want Palestinian refugees to enter Saudi land no matter what… Then, clearly Penny Wong made a huge mistake by taking in Palestinian refugees. Looks like Australia is going to look very much like Europe and America … or perhaps it already did!

28-year-old Female Sydneysider from Australia here. Apologise in advance for the long post and rambling.\n\n\nNot sure if it is just me, so please correct me if I am wrong. Just probably now too overly 'realistically too cynical'. So please take my input with a grain of salt. 

For context’ sake, for most of my adulthood I have always been poor & I am born with special health needs (E.g. disabilities).
\n\n\nSometimes on forums we are often contrasted to Canada, for some reason. Both Canada and Australia have remarkably similar problems with a different coat of paint. Sydney, for instance, has always been high up in the list of the cities with the highest cost of living in the world. Usually within the top 10-20. 

COVID-19 obviously made this issue clearer in some circumstances because we couldn't 'work' at all. Unless you were an essential service worker, to mentally block out personal and local difficulties.\n\n\nWe still have not recovered from that 2–3 years global shutdown. The only reason I was allowed to work for a period was because I work for the animal industry and aid in animal welfare. 

I still lost my job due to COVID-19 regardless and knew I would never get a decent job again. Merely just the last poor sod on the boat to be thrown off. 

Could not become a vet nurse despite working very hard. Just because no one wants to give me '2-years permanent paid experience’ to be taken seriously. 

At the same time, way too many employers will happily take 2+ years of veterinary students volunteering at their vet clinic. With the vague promise of a permanent job.

Which, of course, never happens, then say we are being too demanding or spoilt for politely asking for said job.\n\n\nHow are we supposed to pay off our student debt if any financial service expects us to have a per meant job to pay anything off??

 No, they do not want to train nor help you. They just want free labour, then kick you out once your time is up. All my jobs have been casual, and my animal industry has already become heavily casual based ages ago. Permanent job is like looking for a magical unicorn.\n\n\nSo, even if you and your relatives lived in the way outer suburbs of Sydney for decades, being typically considered roughly lower-middle socio-economic families. 

The younger adults and kids all know and have been aware for years, they have no future at all due to having an inflated cost of living. Sugar-coating it, saying it might go in a positive direction, sounds like a blatant lie. We all know it is a lie.\n\n\nNowadays, in contrast to the late nineties and early 2000s when I was just a tiny naive kid that didn't know any better. There seems to be a more jarring split between the income brackets of what the country assumes who is poor, middle class or rich today. 

\n\nBy today's standards, my family is no longer even considered close to the very lower end of the middle class if you were reaching hard. We are considered 'poor' just because my parents do not earn roughly $50,000 — $150,000 AUD a year on their own in 2023. When I worked, I usually earned $30,000-$35,000 AUD or less per year before COVID-19 happened.\n\n\n(Source — https://www.news.com.au/finance/money/wealth/middle-class-aussies-were-living-better-in-the-early-2000s-than-they-are-today/news-story/fe173db5bbe2b705a8d05df8c5cb14ee)\n\n\nLife is only comfortable living there if you're a selfish landlord, a nepo baby, new money or old money.\n\n\nI feel like most governments and other systems are only strictly being run by sociopathic narcissists that only want us to stay poor to remain in poor conditions to benefit off of. Wouldn’t want any kid to be born in a world where there are no safe guarantees for their future if their guardian unexpectedly passes away or can longer care for them. 

When something does not change within roughly 5–10 years, it is more than simply just valid for us to feel like we cannot fix what has been broken.

Glad i migrated to Adelaide South Australia ??

Looks like Werribee, or Tarneit, or Point Cook in Victoria, Australia. Thanks federal government!

Can you do one about Australia?

When it comes to inflation and tax hikes, the UK isn't playing a game of catch-up with Canada and Australia, it's running neck and neck.

Same supply and demand housing issues in Australia. Led by one of the worst governments in history. In the middle of this crisis, the politicians are letting in migrants at a record number. Words fail me.

Just like Australia. A population of 26 million, and we are currently taking 400,000 Indians each year alone.

And I think the majority of Canadians would like it if fewer people moved here from other parts of the world. In fact, they would really, really like it. This is an awful place. Go to Australia or the U.S. Thanks a bunch. Cheers.

We have the same problem in Australia

You should see Australia ??

24 year old canadian here, moving to Australia this year! Thanks for confirming my decision with these stats.

Australia is the same \nIndians breed to much

Ethnic enclaves i Australia too! Trashing Australia i knew and loved from 80's, 90,s! Mass immagration causing lnfrustructue indifficency+ crime ect!!

Australia is heading in that direction too

Come to Australia the bloody Indians are everywhere not my country anymore

Same issue in Australia. Relying on Immigrants while crippling the system.

Australia has boosted immigration from India. I think our national anthem will be changed to Hindi so not sure I would be able to recite our anthem anymore………

Yeah it baffles me, why you keep electing him? nonetheless we currently have an exact copy cat in Australia. Its called Australian Labor Party and they are doing worse than this guy both at federal and state level.

Indians from Punjab and Gujarat are swarming the west. They found a loophole via a student visa and stayed on. In Australia it took so long for the government to realise this and have placed restrictions on fraudsters from those states. Plus this new breed of Indians stay in their bubble and don't assimilate and what's with Indians talking on their mobiles loudly in their language 24/7 in public.

Holy shit, watching this from Australia, this is concerning...

But this is everywhere all over the globe. My family name is Brampton. Anyway, look what happened to London UK. Same here in Australia. Indian, Sikh, Pakistani and everyone a taxi driver. And that is just Sydney Australia ??

Indians are or Indians. Biggest mistake in Australia

He is right about one thing. The foreign investment and money laundering is the by far the main reason why housing in unaffordable. The oligarchs around the world are able to make an immense amount of money by keeping housing unaffordable. It is the same in Australia, the US, United Kingdom and so on. Regardless of the party in the Canadian government, many of the officials are invested in the housing market themselves, so barring some kind of economic emergency or catastrophe, housing costs are not going to go down any time soon. I was living in Montreal and 4 kg of beef ribs cost $116. The food costs combined with the housing, guarantee that Canadians will be screwed for years to come.

This is how Australia is now. About 15% try to fit in. The rest are able to buy houses driving up home prices. Dangerous drivers, no care and distracted actions causing accidents so insurance has gone up a third

The difference between UK based Punjabis and those in Canada and Australia is stark. Even those Punjabi/Sikhs that went to Spain loved Spanish culture and assimilated quickly.

Unfortunately here is the truth about studying in developed countries that every international students know: \nRich, smart & don't care immigrate: US, UK\nRich, not smart, a little want to immigrate: Australia\nPoor, not smart, extremely want to immigrate: Canada.

Here in Australia the same thing is happening. We are under attack from globalist elites folks. This is why misinformation billare being passed through our governments. To stop us from saying this simple fact.

I am from super multi cultural Australia, yet Brampton's demographic shocks me!

Makes me sad. 1.4 billion Indians and expect to increase to another 400 million (!!!) in 75 years. Pakistan also has very, very high birth rates. Their countries are polluted, corrupt, over-populated... no racial diversity, poor, etc. So, they apply for VISAs en masse to come here. I'm in Australia, and it is exactly the same here. I feel like I am an outsider.

Australia is identical, in just one month 105,000 migrants . Mostly Indians and most moving to Sydney. It looks like Mumbai , turning into a slum.

Something wrong with the migration policy in Canada. It’s either all the subcontinent migrant just concentrate one specific location in Canada or the intake is based on non bias application first in first out. In Australia although the policy is not perfect but we do take in migrants according to the ratio of population of migrant country and of course plus other courses like skills, family etc and generally this will not course favour extreme bias-ness of one nationality

Same story here in Australia!

Australia = Indian and Chinese.
