This is very surface-level analysis. If you want to dive into why Canada's economy is so uncompetitive you have to look at its constitutional framework. Inter-provincial trade is more difficult in Canada compared to Trade in the states or the EU because NAFTA, and the EU trade agreement are more efficient compared to inter-provincial trade frameworks the senate estimates these barriers cost the economy $150b in GDP per year. By comparison, Australia with a similar constitutional structure to Canada managed to harmonize many of its inter-state/ territory regulations leading to increased GDP growth and has long outperformed the Canadian economy. Furthermore, Canada's indigenous rights framework is far to restrictive in terms of allowing the governments to actually govern. This has cost us billions in FDI in projects tossed out by the courts and projects that will simply never be considered due to political and regulatory risks. \n\nThat said, if Canada wanted to improve this situation without meddling in the constitution one thing they can do is to allow housing to catch up to the population. We have the fewest number of dwelling per capita in the G7 in the highest population growth in the G7. This is a recipe for a housing shortage which ensures that a lot of capital will flow into the housing sector simply because it offers promising returns relative to the risk of operating a business. I believe Canada grew by over 1,000,000 residents in 2022 however we had 240,000 housing starts (4 residents per dwelling) and average house size here is 2.51 residents per dwelling. \n\nThat disconnect between housing starts (see regulatory framework above as to why we can't build enough houses) will just cause more capital to flow to the sectors making the business investment environment worse.

80% of the problems with canada economy are ultimately tied back to the mind boggeling and nation breaking amounts of immigration.

Canada sweeps under the rug, the way it treats fathers. Their own statistics prove that Canadian fathers have no rights. Families Responsibilities Office is nothing more than a collection agency to force fathers in financial slavery. Beware if you have children in Canada.

By the way, there are pathways to medical practice in Canada without having to write exams. I came here directly from Nigeria, and I didn't have to write any exams, not even IELTS. To be unambiguous, I am currently licensed by the CPSO, and practicing in Toronto.

As a Canadian myself living in this country for over 30 years... the problem here is that Canada have a diversed industry but because the country itself is so small (population wise) that none of these industries reached economies of scale. While Canada has regions rich with natural resources, all they do is extracted it, sell it to U.S. and then buy the producted that was produced by these raw materials back at a higher cost. The political structure of Canada doesn't help either: Each region essencially specialized in a few industries (Alberta Oil, Ontario Finance, the Alantic provice's fisheries and oil refineries) and there's equalization payment... meaning if one province is doing well... they don't get to reinvest it back into its infrastructure but rather have to spread some of the excess revenue to other failing provinces... this doesn't incentized productivity but rather leads to a race to the bottom where provinces would want to spend their way to get some of that equalization payment money. Also the provinces themselves doesn't have a unifying economic agenda... Alberta's oil could be best served to be refined out east and then shipped but British Columbia doesn't want pipelines and oil shipping facilities on their coastline... and Quebec isn't interested in having a pipeline either so there's nowhere by the oil but to go down to the states. Finally the province of Quebec( which is french speaking and have their own culture and language) isn't interested in the overall prosperity of Canada at all but rather to extract as much special privilages, rights, and money from the Federal government... and even to declare independance from the Rest of Canada.

I was an international student in Canada and am now a neutralized Canadian. In the last 5-6 years, Canada has increased their immigration target every year. A lot of people coming in boosted the housing price, additionally, putting a burden on healthcare

When Canadians feel ashamed to exploit their biggest asset, oil... this was bound to happen. Meanwhile, world produces what Canada does not, ... so world sees Canadians as potatoheads.

People do realize equality means slavery/ misery right, \nEverybody in canada is equally unhappy, equally pissed, and equally unable to do anything except for smoke weed and do nothing all day

I pay 11.5% of my income directly to pensioners as a contract worker making less than 50K in 2023. At total tax rate of 26% all inclusive. I have to live at home, and I can't find a single job that isn't contract work, and I'm a designer who's worked with F500 companies. The best Canadian rate hourly is 30$, my American contracts have paid 135$ an hour. It's such a bad deal to be a Canadian millennial. Canada has two classes. The ruling pensioner elder class which makes up 60% of the country and everyone else that they've impoverished. Canada has poor pay, worsening living standards, extremely high white collar competition, few job prospects and a disintegrating social fabric. But somehow I think this is the story of the entire commonwealth right now. So that makes us no different, and I don't really believe the grass is greener among the G7 either.

Canada is the largest money laundering country of the G8 countries. Money earned from crime is laundered through the Canadian real estate supply and then flipped easily through a lax system of banking and property financial monitoring. Drug cartels from China and Mexico and around the world use Canada's G8 stability status and weak financial policing structure to launder BILLIONS of dollars each year. It is estimated that $50 BILLION is laundered each year through Canada's pathetic real estate market. Criminal gangs, Corporations and autonomous owners use numbered accounts on the owner registration.

The problem with Canada’s economy is Trudeau, his crony liberals and complicit NDP.

Short version. Trudeau is ruining Canada.

The problem with Canada is the government.

Canada sucks ?,I'm so glad that I didn't go there years ago

In Canada Trudyolf doesn't want people living in the country to have guns, which means shit trouble for the rural people

As a European how can I move to Canada and live (and work ofc) there?

They are running for their lives. The drug war is out of control. What would you do if America had a drug cartel problem, murder, rape, kidnapping? We would run to Canada's borders just like this

The perfect place don’t exist, and Canada is one of the best place to live honestly. About homeless that’s true, but at the same time this situation generate many jobs opportunities for social workers, counselling etc in order to help this situation. I have been living here for 14 years and this is a great place to live.

Okay let me get to the point I understand immigrants that migrate from other places that are suffering and so on the only thing I am against once we have immigrants in this country like us and even Canada we as US citizens and in some cases the Canadian citizens we be left in the back burner while the people that are not from here they tend to get first priority which is not they get more of the services then us citizens especially when it comes to food stamps health insurance housing jobs and so on. I understand they're human like everybody else but don't cast us to the side just to cater to them.

Let them get to canada so they can deport them back to country of origin

? the same demographics that ruined the USA will now ruin Canada. Love to see it ?

Honestly we should absolutely give them free bus tickets to Canada along with like $200 if they agree to go there. Canadas attitude towards American border security is always so condescending and elitist we should just make it their problem for a few years.

Red carpet for people coming here illegally. Citizens in Canada during Covid needing life saving treatments can’t get it due to not having the Covid vax Lmao. Corrupt is as corrupt does.

Tumarae baap hai kya Canada government me .Jo free me call kre so.9.99dollar puchra .tu free hai bola na ra kutte .haram ki aulad hai re tu kitne paise mile re teku ye video upload kr k

Trudeau once said they were welcome in Canada when Trump didn’t want them. Thought Canada was ready.

It's like the USA, Canada, and Australia are all siblings. \nThe USA is the hyperactive son that just wandered off one day and hasn't come back yet.\n \nCanada is the son that is the straight laced respectful one.\n\nAnd Australia is the one that went to juvie But the parents still love them.

Let them go to Canada it's ok Canada will welcome them now that what's his face sad There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada,” Trudeau said, concluding that he sees Canada as “the first post-national state Canada is not even a country now

Sahi logo ko pagal banao ....yea jitni be companies hay kabhi be replay nahi kerti jo merzi kerty rahao....pora pakistan canada ma betha hona chay ....koi agents sahi nahi hay total 6 company hay jo sponsor ker rahai hay or wo be jawab nahi dete ...sab galat hy

The migrants are good for canada, that country is empty place

Sb fake hai Canada name par furd ho raha pori duniya mea Bhai ji USA or Canada number ap Pakistan say b opret kar saktea han ya Indian say

Very sad. The history of the US involvement in some of these countries has caused economic disaster but this is never addressed. But the countries themselves have not made their countries livable for so many . It's very tragic. And it's not just the US, England and other Western countries have done the same disruption in the countries of the people pressing against their borders. Canada comes to mind, France

Now we will find out if lefty canada is tolerant or not

We have such a porous border in Canada. Problem is Justin Trudeau and his pack of corrupt Liberals want more and more “refuges” not skilled....with an education coming into Canada. You see....people who vote Liberal are morons...the “free stuff” they get from the Liberals are paid for with more and more Liberal taxes. Liberal voters think Justin dips into a trust fund or something...yes Liberal voters are really that stupid....they don’t realize more Liberals mean more wasteful taxes. So Justin wants refugees...who he can put on welfare for their lives, become citizens, AND bring in dozens of their relatives to begin the process again....why because they vote Liberal in perpetuity. We are never going to break this cycle. Where is the line to emigrated to the United States.....oh, I’m educated with a masters degree. Not valued in Canada, because I was born here, and I’m white....I feel so ashamed!

Canada was great until all the racist europhobics moved in. Pretty stupid for you f****** to move to a country full of people that you don't like. You are welcome here but stop hating the born-and-raised real Canadians.

They need workers that's why Canada is known for having a low population por the size of the country

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!\nI applied for pr since 2021 until now no answer!

They are not trying to stay in America they're trying to go through America to Canada. America is not the great no more.

And I with two masters degree , technologist, and no record with clean background with plan to invest in USA ?? cannot get legal immigrants status unless I invest 990k USD in USA business of others rather a government bond and risk loosing money to get a legal status.\nFortunately Canada allows investors with 250k and many provinces 150k to be eligible.\n\nThese is invasion for sure approve by Biden Harris.

Canada's not stupid like the United States they are not just going to let people enter their country an roam free illegally, Canada's won't even let you in their country if you are a United States citizen that owes child support in America, they have control over their border unlike the United States which is sad for the most rich an powerful country in the world but can't control its borders.

They want in and I couldn’t get out fast enough. Shout out Canada

Then the border states sends them to NY, NY in turn sends them to Canada.

CANADA IS AT FAULT FOR HOW THEIR COUNTRY IS DOWN THE DRAIN NOT JUST FOR THIS BUT FOR NOT DOING THEIR JOBS AT ALL. GROSS
