I left my developing country to find better life here in Canada. My country was way behind and I wasn’t getting anything. I cant go back

So happy I left Canada 10 years ago after studying my bachelor there, it was also quite depressing for me as a student back then, especially if your parents are not super rich

I’m from Trinidad ?? so much of my fam left the Caribbean to go live here ?

Left the country ??‍♂️\nTo any that’s gonna say good riddance I thank you ?

This is World wide not just in Canada or America ! Look out side and you will find this is in Every 1st world Country . Because of the monopolizing of everything . We the Consumers pay the price !! and think one Person is the Blame this is foolish Look at your self and ask am I taking the path of least resistance ? Electing the Liars because they say nice thing get you in bed and in the morning now your money is gone and you are left with the bill !! We are being manipulated by our own biases based on our political systems ( Nothing is Free ) !! The Tax payer has toy pay the bill one-way or the other But not the Monopoly's ? . We all have the power to take back the system . we just have to Elect the people that will fight for you and not the Corporations .

I can say that i left canada because of: a lot of passive aggresion, super high level of hypocrisy, army of lunatics on the streets, not so much hidden racism against whites and foreigners.

Left Vancouver in 2006 for AB. Best decision I ever made.

This happen to me also when my all friends went for roller coaster ride , i was left alone for next group??

A Canadian here who moved to the USA back in the 1990's. Back then, and even more so today, it was pointless with the Canadian tax structure to work hard and make higher income. So I moved to the USA, worked my ass off in a progressive tax structure and am now in a place of happiness and freedom in retirement. I visit Canada often enjoying a great exchange rate. It's heartbreaking to see everyone either work like crazy to be left with almost nothing after taxes, or my unemployed friends get almost as much after-tax on welfare who complain about how the schools, taxes and government service are going to immigration. I hope Canada can start developing an identity and work towards something more positive than simply growing the government unions.

This is sad. Born in Canada, left to marry an American but I have always wanted to move back...not now. This is not the same country I left. 20 years ago can make a huge difference.

We're facing a housing crisis. So the government is helping the newcomers but Canadians are left to rot??

i,m here in Newfoundland my daughter was kidnipped by police captain and hid wife Superintent of the RNC and all government knows and she was 121 pounds when she left my home , she was found through over a mantain in a half car that police put her in and then beat the car up with her inside,they had her for 7 months ,all government department know and are hiding it and im charged with assault..on one of her kidnppers..,government workers should have mental health .my 19 year old daughter was forced to have sex with 150 to 200 men and women most liberals govenment workers..pc are no different ...my daughter womb was tored out of her she here with all kinds of injures and we cant get her help..because of corrupt justice minster and police chief..newfoundland is the worse place in the contry

Dont worry Canadians those who left werent the brightest or the best. 90% are working menial jobs as they wouldn't even get that in india. \nNot because they're not talented or skilled, but a flawed reservation system along with lack of jobs in India drives them away .\nTheyll migrate back when they get some jobs in india

And it's a woke hell hole. And it's become a far left fascist DEI state run by illiberal ideogues and incompetents. And the Leafs suck.

The housing market is a disaster because people can only rely on making money off their houses as jobs suck and there are no Canadian industries left. So we bring in more people to fill in crap jobs crap wages and they’re surprised they have nowhere to live. What a shocker we don’t oil we don’t own our lumber. We don’t own the processing we own nothing. And in the end, all it creates is versions of provinces literally cultures very little integration with each other.

The lesson,''The progressive woke left destroys everything they touch''... Everything..

Canadians are being replaced with mass immigration. White people are leaving the GTA in droves because they feel left out and are minorities. I moved in 2021 from Toro to. Best move I ever did.

Trash thrown everywhere. Driving laws completely broken. Fireworks going off till 4am and the trash left in the parks and fields all over from their celebrations. Million dollar homes going up but only for renting out every room in the house with people that don't care of the landscape and keeping the area clean. Crime is up multiple times over than it's ever been. Jobs are being taken over with poor service being paid cheaper wages or under the table avoiding the taxes. Driving without a license or paying insurance. Fake licenses, fake IDs. Oh yes it's all happening and happening so fast. This is being spread even towards the north now hitting all the small towns with their real estate signs being planted in just about every corner you can drive to.

You know he nearly left it at go back to Muslim as if it's a place ?

I moved to Brampton in 1986 and back then it was multi culture. Indian, Italian, Portugese, Canadian, etc. Back then they made an effort to learn the culture and language. I left in 1994 due to this reason. They refused to speak English, very rude to Canadians, stripped Christmas from some areas. What can you do at end of the day? It’s not my country or yours or theirs but you need to control the Ethnic population or you’ll have the problems here that they have over there.

Another reason to leave: Canada no longer believes in free speech. Bill C-63 will take care of what is left of that.

America ruined everywhere with name of democracy America \nAmerica exchange IRANIAN king instead jomhoriayh islami regime \nAnd then created lot of the group's and send them to Afghanistan \nAnd made regime change \nAnd then America came and destroying mojahedin Afghanistan and Kild all them And bring harmed Karzai and then \nAnd then bring again mojahedin Afghanistan group and gave Afghanistan to them And escaped \nSo Americans politicians running Iraq and Kild Saddam Hussein and then Kild gaddafi and made war in Yemen and then ruined Somalia and Suddan Egypt and Syria \nAnd Yugoslavia And now Ukraine Maybe tomorrow somewhere else So no where left to go

Born and raised Canadian and lived 22 years of my life in Canada. Left Canada in 2005 and till this date, zero regrets. I went for an academic internship in 2004 during my Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering to University of Texas Austin. A professor offered me a position in his research lab for master's, so it was more like studying in US free of cost and earning monthly stipend for doing research. \nI never considered this as permanent move but quality of research I did in US, the opportunities and salary I received I could never imagine that in Canada. I am still in touch with my university friends in Canada work at low wages on obsolete tech stuff, with no innovation at work. Many of them want to move to the US, but for 10+ years they worked on outdated stuff, so they cannot compete with the talent pool in US. Even in 2004, I remember healthcare being bad and I keep hearing stories about how worse it has become. In US, I am covered by a good health insurance, I had surgeries for myself and my kids, and we never had any issues. Honestly, I can no longer trust Canadian healthcare with insane wait times for my kids safety.

I left Canada in 2018 and I’m probably not going back!

Canada hid its inflation in the housing market for a decade. The economy appeared to be growing, and real wages appeared to be staying in line with the consumer price index, but it was smoke and mirrors. If you removed real estate, GDP was stagnant. Wages were actually falling behind and people getting poorer and poorer without realising it. That’s finally become unsustainable, and inflation is showing up everywhere. And the wages are still stuck. The country is sitting on hugely valuable resources it could develop had it not put so many self-created political barriers in the way, and having indoctrinated their population about it along the way. Separately, The healthcare system is getting worse, consistently ranking 2nd last in the OECD in terms of real results delivered. The biggest problem is that the country’s economy is built on immigration to drive growth, rather than productivity, efficiency, or innovation. The more people you bring in, the more housing you need, but they’re at the point that they can’t keep up and people can hardly afford housing anyways. It’s a recipe for disaster. I left Canada by coincidence, having met someone from another country and moved there. I’m glad I left.

I'm a born and raised Canadian and I left Canada 14 years ago never looking back!

Stop letting so many in?? I visited Canada and saw hardly any white people??‍♂️\nCanada is too left wing woke.

I left Canada in 1985. My grandparents were Canadian born, but I could see the trend in the 80’s when the first waves of Chinese were welcome to move to Canada with money, buy real estate, business interests, and provide tax dollars for a Government that was addicted to spending and would never satisfy their Liberal agenda, with the tax revenue alone from hard working, productive Canadians. I have never regretted my move, and have watched Canada sell citizenship and resident status to anyone with the cash. You reap what you sow. Canada has become a country of mutts, while a relatively small and declining population of native born Canadians pay high taxes, deal with crime and the raging drug crisis, fuelled by foreign immigrants who will never really put Canada first. Why should they? The Government has set an example of National prostitution, that begins with open borders and ends in despair.

Left-wing Liberal and NDP chaotic mess. Total disaster.

Why did you make it about Canada, housing price is out of control everywhere because the GOV only makes money from property tax lol. \n\nI wouldn't live in Austin it fucking sucks, you remember their electrical lines FROZE OVER??? lmao they had no heat for 30 days +\n\nI wouldn't live anywhere in Florida because I'm mixed race, the south of the US except California is crazy racist. I'm from Kansas originally and I left when I was 18 because 18 years of racism is enough for me. I have lived in LA since 2010 and I have no problems affording a house working a regular 9-5, nor do I get accosted by the police daily. \n\n\n\nAs they say, Grass is always greener.

You got sth wrong... I would like to live in Canada! One of my fellow school mates migrated to Toronto a few years back, she left a good job and a nice flat here in Germany. What's all this negativity about?

Unfortunately mississauga is going the same way with a difference of mississauga being not only Indians but Muslims Arabs and Pakistanis, reason way I left mississauga.

Canadian here! Canada SUCKS! Left Canada for California 10 years ago & never looked back

Hahaha so basically they wont lift a finger to help and they gonna keep mobilising our far left middle class to do something about it ?

First time I voted him, and then I noticed something really off after he won. At the time Toronto became a city with lots of ignorance, brain-washing people who believed he did great. When I tried to express my concern, I got blackmailed and warned and even attracted by certain group of people on the street. Nobody came to help. I was so depressed and left. \n\nI didn't even vote second and third time because I don't see any common sense from all candidates. They all brand themselves great and have been using the same way. \n\nKarma is getting to these ignorance and brain-washed people with higher prices of everything and poorer living condition. They need to stop blaming the outcome.

In NZ ??we finally got rid of little Trudeau's twin ideological sister after 6 years of increasingly divisive race based ' maori favouring policies. The new 3 party coalition was forged out of the thorough rejection of the Labour-Green Left dictatorship. The majority party PM is proving to be a weak link in the chain of societal repair.

Where do people go? Back to the home country that they left in the first place?

Not even their own people don't want them that's a cop out that they don't want to leave there is nothing left but dust

I live in the states and some places are catching up on housing stock. The Biden administration recently blocked a merger between grocery store giants and is becoming tougher on antitrust enforcement. The Biden admin along with Congress also increased IRS funding and has been catching more high-dollar tax cheats. In the US, Trudeau would be considered more of a corporate Democrat, which is a right wing party. (The US has no viable moderate or left-wing parties whatsoever)

that is why i left in 2015

Well , almost half of Canada votes for turdeau and the bobble heads , what does that make them ??? There is very little Canadian left in Canada !!

Canada is a disaster. Trudeau and Sigh are a disaster. Crime is rampant. Home prices are astronomical at one and two million dollars. Florida has brand new nicer homes for 25% of the cost at $350k. Does Trudeau think that home builders are going to build and sell for 25% of current prices? Then all those Canadians that paid $1 and 2 million would all be bankrupt having a mortgage at $1 and 2 million. Immigrants couldn't care less about Canada, and want their neighbourhood to look just like the one they left in the other country. Trudeau and Singh have done a wonderful job of destroying what was a wonderful country before the woke/progressives came to power. A renter on Vancouver Island.

...I left Kitchener last April after being there for 10 years. Housing really isn't much better here in Nova Scotia either.. and it looks like brampton here too.

it is a nightmare. canadian here...left the country. No regrets

Yeah left Canada after they locked my friends bank accounts for supporting the convoy!

His right leg gone make that left also like that fk

The left are fucking clueless.

Poor old man, he has such little time left and still hating, instead of praying to be saved from the fires of hell.

His wife left him for a muslim ?
