Its been a boom time for canadian landlords. Home prices have skyrocketed and rental prices the same. Just a reminder that mass immigration isnt hated and bad for everyone. I was able to retire early because of it and ive expanded my rental portfolio so can now permanently live in the usa and visit india regularly just off rent alone. And my net worth continues to rise. So, just an example that this canadian system is working for lots of us

I agree with you. I came here as a child in early 90s, Canada was the best place to be.

Scott Bessent: \n\n“Another differentiated view that we have is that Trump will pursue a weak dollar policy rather than implementing tariffs. Tariffs are inflationary and would strengthen the dollar--hardly a good starting point for a US industrial renaissance. Weakening the dollar early in his second administration would make U.S manufacturing competitive. A weak dollar and plentiful, cheap energy could power a boom. The current Wall Street consensus is for a strong dollar based on the tariffs. We strongly disagree. A strong dollar should emerge by the end of his term if the US reshoring effort is successful.”

Nope - we are actually thinking of going there for early or semi retirement. None the issues mentioned are significant to us, or rather more significant than whats happening in the USA. However I really do understand why the issues mentioned are significant reasons for others already there to leave.

In Canada it would have been free of cost. What they did teach me at the alcohol rehab center worked and I had quit drinking in 1990. But after in the early 2000's I started to drink again and after getting blood poison in 2003 I finally gave it up for good and now I have been sober for 21 years. Best thing I ever did for myself.❤ ❤ ❤

I hope the Trudicks cry when Poilievre wins the early election

I live in Germany for about 6 years, moving from Bosnia and didnt have any of those problems mentioned, excluding the bureaucratic hurdels. Granted, i do speak German natively since ive spent my early childhood years here. To be fair i do think that learning the language of the nation you are moving to as fluently as possible should be a no brainer.\nWhat people arround the world need to understand is that European countries are NOT the USA. These are nations that exist for thousands of years with clear cultural parameters born out of centuries of strugle, war and hardship. These are strongly embeded into the minds of the people living here. The jist of it is that Europeans have known this for a long time, literally knowing ´´what the others are like´´. So its much easier to adapt. Of course it helps that most European countries have simmilar religious and social values.

I understand traveling for years outside Canada for the last decade will put you far out of the Candian market. If you followed the traditional work-invest in Canada approach you might feel different. As a baby boomer, I am set and my nieces and nephews who have entered the market early, they all have homes. If you are just coming to Canada now, blame the Trudeau immigration plan that has overwhelmed the system. In 5 to 10 years we may have caught up, I will be gone but the current immigrants will be in good shape. Leaving now will just put you further behind in Canada unless you can find some place that will pay you an outrageous salary and no taxes. Good luck.

If someone getting happy after hearing this news let me tell you it’s not people from Brampton these are mostly European immigrants who came here from early 1700s

In the case of PQ it is not the Federal Government that 'allows' that. PQ are under the Napoleonic system of government dating back to early France, there are many large differences between PQ laws and the rest of Canada. France also does not allow religious displays in the work place.

History repeating itself. In the early days of the Third Reich, there were actually Jews who supported the Nazis. They thought that because their family had been in Germany for generations they were safe...that they were part of the establishment. They were wrong.

She was given amnesty by Reagan in the early 80's. The current Trump cult would have sent her back to Mexico in a box.

So much for crowd sizes, Hannibal Lecter, sharks, flushing toilets....the G.O.P. didn't demonize early mail-in voting or machines. Mike Lindell was nowhere on the radar. Trump was wise to avoid any additional debates. The citizens spoke, all three branches (executive, legislative Senate and 'projected' House, and judicial) will be under the control of the Right. Let's see what happens next....

If they are here illegally, they must go. If they want to become a permanent resident they should leave early and start the legal process to come back.

Keep spewing that rhetoric, Banks. You know who else will be leaving the country? A lot of educated folks who do not want to be part of your BS. Look at the brain-drain which happened to Russia 2 yrs ago or South Africa in the early 2000s. Look at them now. 3rd world Trump will have his 3rd world sh***ole right on his doorstep every morning.

my dil is mexican and is here legally. last march my son called me very early one morning with the news that his brother in law had been randomly murdered the night before. he was also in this country legally. as is my Dil's younger sister who lives with them. They also recently took in one of her younger sister's high school friends who was pregnant. they kept the girl safe with them until she gave birth. when I visited last may, I brought multiple baby gifts for the girl. when I have posted this before. there were many hateful comments that my son's brother-in law was probably killed by another illegal. Actually he was here in the country legally, as is my daughter-in-law. my DIL works hard doing payroll at a portland contracting company. she is here legally. at this point I can't wrap my mind around the hate that is thrown on people from other countries. most of us have ancesters that came from other places. I know that I do.

She has no idea what’s really going to happen. Trump’s likely to ignore the existing laws and remove legal Hispanic immigrants or make it very very difficult for them to remain here. \n\nHe’s going to escalate existing ethnic bigotry, among a host of other divisive tactics, and she’ll see—along with other Latinos who voted for him, what’s she really voted for.\n\nThere are ways to handle this humanely, but think of how a certain German, his idol—per Ivana, his first wife—handled his power, and you’ll get some idea of how bad this can, and very likely will, really get. \n\nThe only possible saving grace may be his early signs of dementia, but he’s putting in place a group of likeminded friends, so not a good time to be different in the US.

Couldn’t agree more. Deport early and often

I got to learn early on that Cubans hate Cubans. \nSound familiar America?\nYou don't have to be Anglo to be stupid.

NO ONLY THE PERSON ------ BUT HIS FAMILY ALSO = US CITIZENS . ---------- MY Father was a Victim of the OPERATION WET BACK in the 1950's and Early 1960's . and He was a CITIZEN . ((( HE WAS NEVER SEEN AGAIN ))) They Took them to the DESERTS Near the Border and Just Dumped them ((( NO WATER , NO FOOD ))) Most DID NO LIVE . ------------------- NOW Up To 60% Of LATINO Voted for TRUMP , ******* SAY GOOD BY TO YOUR OWN FAMILY MEMBERS ********* They will NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN .

Trump needs to fulfill the will of the voters! I can only imagine the chaos that will occur if he does not start deportations early next year. If there are not enough official ICE agents, then allow Americans that are here legally to detain, arrest, and receive compensation for removing illegals!

Early Christmas buzz! I am thrilled for America getting a border back. God bless Donald

Fear is the best way to control people, he figured that out early and now duped half the country. Democracy dies in the dark, apparently some people don’t care, but i hope they’re just too blind.

I like global news early in the morning with my home made fresh coffee.

I knew an undocumented young woman who was living with her 1 yr old baby and her undocumented husband in NC. He started beating her up really badly so she called the cops. The cops arrested them both, even though he was the clear aggressor. They sent the baby off to cps and cps sent the child back to her extended family in Mexico. She spent 3 years in the county jail, never having access to proper medical care, fresh air & greenery or money for commissary or phone minutes. She was still in the early stages of learning English so she was unable to properly advocate for herself before she made bilingual friends and she couldn’t even read the English books in the county jail. Last I heard, she had finally been transported to a huge ICE detention facility in Georgia, but her case was still in limbo and she still had not seen her daughter 4 years later?\n\nShe was such a sweet young woman and what happened to her was so cruel, inhumane and totally undeserved. People who advocate for mass deportation are asking for millions of more stories just like hers, but with even more violence, since Trump would have to use storm troopers to do raids and papers checks so they can kidnap the 20 million people they want to deport.

What about early learning and child care diploma

Im sure she didn't wait in line for hours or day in line to get a green card. Odds she came illegally in the early 70's and gave birth to a child and was giving a green card because that was the law and legal. But the point is that she crossed over illegally

It was my 1st time visiting Canada early 2000s. We went to Brampton to visit close family friends. Honestly, I thought i was in India.

This is a lie.\nPeople cannot find jobs, & they don't even pay well.\nThese International Studens are graduating & they cant find jobs. They all work as Security, or at the fast-food places.\n\nI am talking to the Computer Developers/Programmers & they are making $60,000-$80,000. \nI was making the same money in early 2000. Except everything was 2x-4x times cheaper. \nI used to pay $750 for a 2 bedroom Downtown apartment!\n*\nI just spoke to a Indian girl in Scarborough (all my neighbors now are Indians). She has graduated with 2 degrees (Programming & Management) & cannot find a job. \nShe is working as a security guard.\nTogether with a friend, they are renting a small room for $1,200. In Scarborough!!

I was so early to this conversation I was called racist ??

Early dementia. She should be the first to to be deported for her bad genetics. She's pathetic

Welcome to Canada where crime pays, no incarceration, early parole what’s to lose!

Your tribe was in India for 300 years looting everything they saw. India used to be rich country and the so called “Europeans” looted everything- they even looted the word “loot” from Sanskrit. For your record they looted around 45 trillion from India and with that money they so called “developed” Britain! \nThe atrocious things that the Brit’s done to the Indians can’t be forgotten! \nBut you know what, as an Indian let me tell you that India is rising again. It has already risen to be the world’s fifth largest economy. \nThis lady’s forefathers may have settled here long before the Indian guy came here but that doesn’t justify her to throw racial slurs at him. Yes there are many students of Indian descent coming to Canada and yes they do create a lot of issues which I surely wouldn’t condone. But that’s nothing compared to what the Brits have done to the Indians in the early 1900s. \nIt hurts me as an Indian what the whites have done to my country! \nThere’s a time for everything under the sun- a time to plant and a time to pluck, a time to sow and a time to reap! \nLong gone are the times of the white supremacy. There’s nothing supreme about any race for that matter! All are made in the image of God and it’s everyone’s duty to respect each other and consider others worthy just as themselves!

That women is completely right, I support her, Annamalai pls leave Canada as early as possible.

My parents immigrated to Canada in the early 1980’s and both of my parents work 50hrs/week to have a house and send 3 kids to university. We are the second generation and we have a much better life. I have Australia friends who move here (Montreal ) last summer and they finally bought a condominium instead of renting coz they always dream to be owner which was very hard in their city. Everyone situation is different. But thinking Canada is a affordable country is a big misunderstanding.

You know you're down bad when your own ppl won't help you ?. Isn't it ironic that this was the problem of the jews in early 1900s when nobody wanted to take them in smfh

Like I explained, to those who say this will sour the us and canada's relationship. Americans don't care because even though Canada is less than 50% white, in they minds its still a majority white nation. That's why you don't see the BUILD A WALL etc, like you see with mexico, because even though the majority of immigrants crossing into the us from Mexico, might have been Mexican in the early 2000's, now that's not the case, 300k Colombians in one years, 175k indians, 75k turks, 150k, from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, 500k from Russia and Ukraine since the war began, 200k from ecuador, 75k Chinese per year etc etc. And they scream, build a wall, and make mexico pay for it. Because mexico is less than 20% white. At this point with all the immigrants canada gives citizenship too, mexico is probably more white than canada at this point or will be in the near future. But y'all don't see as that, like i said y'all still think canada is a majority white nation when it's not, and mexico is a amarindiean majority nation when with all the immigrants canada has now, sorry, new Canadians mexico is probably just as white or even more so than canada. And for those that think I'm exaggerating, read the comments or the lack thereof, and the ones that do comments completely overlook the fact that they can use and are using canada to reach the us, and completely want to change the conversation to the ones crossing from Mexico, why? Are there or are there not using canada to cross into the us, and the thing is this people pick which country to use, as we choose which restaurant to eat at!!!!!!! Well, I like.... I would prefer..... today the majority choose mexico. Tomorrow as you just saw will be canada, will y'all also scream build a wall???

Besides housing, cost of living, etc, my main thorn with the newer refugees AND immigrants are that they refuse to assimilate. No one is telling you to discard your religion or culture. But something as simple as fishing with a permit (instead of taking your entire clan to go empty out a river whenever you like in disregard to size/amount/seasonal regulations), waiting for people to dismount from a bus or train BEFORE you push your way into it, not trashing the entire downtown core every single night way into the early morning with loud music while people are trying to sleep, actually learning the language and not giving an attitude when someone gently tells you that their order is wrong, and so on. \n\nMany cultures and generations before you have done it and are embraced for their differences. You're not an exception just because you paid $10,000 to come here and feel the entire country owes you for it.

They're getting an early start on voting. No ID needed just come on down and say Kamala sent ya.

And yet they protest in droves on Canadian soil with no shame at all, its sickening to see our nation bend down to these weak scam artists who take short cuts. Many hard working Canadians including my immigrant patents and myself worked hard in the early 80s to make ends meet and to integrate into this peacful landscape as if it was our own without any baggage of the Country we left. We also did not take shortcuts my parents came over with not even a degree and through their perseverance and hard work gained a threshold for us to survive and thrive.

Don't worry. This looks staged. 2ndly, Mexico is now a B.R.I.C.S member. Their $ is about $20 to every 1 USD. When the $ crashes in early 2025 they'll be able to return to their 13 bdrm ? mes. Happy white ppl? Get ready to pick them damn fruits & veggies. Oh, Venezuela is also a B.R.I.Cs member and whites need their resources.

*canada never had a future since the early 90's only difference is because Canada misandry laws had always favoured females since Canada has always hated men. But now women are feeling the issues*

My life is good enough but I'm older than you and was able to buy a house, etc... My kids on the other hand.... I worry for them. Both of them just got their EU citizenship, but I'm not sure if Europe is any better (I don't know yet). I'm anxious to see where you end up. \n\nSidenote, my mother's side is Ukrainian and settled in east rural Saskatchewan in the early 1900s. Ukrainians are the most hospitable and wonderful people, and growing up, when I would go visit them, it was almost as if I was in Ukraine, not Canada. The language, the food, etc... it was wild and I never appreciated it for what it was until I was much older.

Go to Vancouver, British Columbia in the 60tys . I moved to Brampton Ontario in the early 90tys and i thought i was back in Vancouver....Rich people don't care, with their greed. PEOPLE HAVE MOVE FOR WHAT . TO BECOME HOMELESS\n.

i'm 75, born and raised in vancouver. the downward spiral in canada, imo started in the early 2000's. personally i'm doing ok, but young people today do not have things that i had access to. in the early 80's my wife and i bought a big beautiful house in a great neighbourhood in maple ridge for 73,000. my wife took a year off from work and we did fine on my wages. today, a working couple struggles to rent an apartment and buying a home is a pipe dream. for housing, the government opened up the border and too many people came here in too short a period of time and the real estate nightmare started.

It’s pretty much the same in India. I’ve visited New Delhi last year, I went for an early morning run and was shocked to find the streets littered with fresh poop. I had to be extra careful not to step on any! Initially, I thought it was due to a lack of toilets over there, but later I realised it’s more ingrained in their culture. When I confronted someone peeing on the street, he casually responded, ‘What’s your problem? It’s just nature’s call.’ I was left stunned!

I understand the concerns of international students, but let’s be honest— a lot of students from India are taking advantage of the system through fake marriage schemes and purchasing of LMIAs. This is unfair not only to other international students but also to early immigrants who went through the long and emotionally exhausting immigration process.

Very good news , should a done long time ago , expecting early election

Best of luck to you! I left Canada 17 years ago and never had the urge to return once. Like you I came as a kid and left in my early thirties. The world is big, lots to see. No country is perfect. Try to find one that suits you more.

My friend got cash job at this MNC who hire students and yes... I don't have a job \nI pay my taxes \nI support local food banks\nI volunteered thru my early years\nSo Why?
