We have less people here in Canada than in California alone; the datasets are not effectively comparable if you hope to produce results relevant outside of national pissing contests

The issue with canada is it is a consumer economy not a manufacturing economy. For all its similarities and problems the US is still a manufacturing economy. We can't afford to buy what little is produced in canada so we buy chinese or mexican instead since its cheaper. I work in the auto industry and the parts we make are put into cars that are then sold to americans. We aren't paid enough to afford the cars we make parts for and the excuse is always that our pay is on par with the other plants in the area. The other huge issue is liberal socialist economic and environmental policy is crippling industry and the economy as a whole. I mean what can you expect from a PM that is a failed drama teacher and a deputy PM/finance minister that is a fail journalist? The rest of the ministers are equally inexperienced when it comes to their government responsibilities.

Canada is doomed, one of the only reasons why this country has stayed afloat is because of the insane taxes, I bought 3 monster energies today and they were 8 dollars but with tax added up it was 16 dollars, absolutely insane. The cookie is going to crumble eventually most people just can't scrape by anymore, when the government has no more money too tax from people where are they gonna get their money from?

Holy sh17. If canada is the least corrupt than the other countries must be totally corrupt. I hate our government

Canada like the USA is using the “Child Support” system to generate money for the state. Beware if your a father, passport bros is the way to go.

Yeah canada is 100% fucked long-term. No investment in people, technology and infrastructure. No wonder the OECD forecasts it as the worse performing in the next decade.

In 2009 I questioned if I could ever own a home but I was still working hard at my career and had some hope if I met the right women to marry. Then along came Justin Trudeau. Within 2 years of his goverment that dream faded fast. Everything I saved and my individual salary still wasn't enough. Property taxes and carbon taxes make it absolutely impossible here in southern Ontario even far a small home not without trying. I always get out bid on the 316 homes I tried to purchase. I can't pay 30%-70% above market value on a single income. Turning in my pensions isn't even an option. I'm not gambling away my retirement with current crrupt Liberal goverment that continues to raise taxes. To give some an idea just how single parents are crushed on taxes. I pay 53% of my income on taxes and get almost nothing back when filing my taxes cause I work hard and excel in my career. I get punished for being a hard work and risking my life to do so. Living in Canada has gotten gradually worse and worse the last 8 years. The socialist way of life isn't good. Now the writing is on the wall that it's becoming a communist country. I'm now searching for employment opportunities south of the border to give my child the best chance to making her dreams a reality. Canada isn't giving me any other options. If everything works out in the US I will surrender my Canadian citizenship at the earliest availability. It breaks my heart but I just can't allow them to enslave me and my child as she becomes an adult. Slavery is the only way I can describe the last 8 years. Also to top it all off 6 if the last 8 year's basic goverment services have been extremely unstable making doing business with Canada very frustrating. Getting a passport during this time has been delay after delay. Finding a family doctor that is stable almost impossible. \n\nCanada's economy status looks good from a far but its really far from good. Our goverment is literally paying 10s of billions in tax dollars to draw auto makers here and to even keep them here. Just further proof the economic future is very unstable. Probably even more so then the housing market. \n\nOur PM isn't even hiding his goverments level of corruption anymore. He actually brags about it at home and on the world stage. \n\n\nI worry about my future more then planing for it. Hopelessness has definitely set in. Now I'm in damage control by no fault of my own to make sure no possible debt are passed on to my daughter in the next 25 years when I'm gone. Even that is looking to be unachievable in my particular situation. It's my worst nightmare to leave my kid with any owing debts.

Like night and day Canada all the way baby

Thank you Suleeha...I am planning to come to Canada soon on a less than one year study permit. I intend to move my Family to Canada just after 3 month I enter Canada.What is the possibility of my wife and Children getting Visa within 4month of my being in Canada?

Of course most people that make money go to the US to make even more money, but it’s only the top percent of our society. For lower social classes, they are happy to live in Canada because of all the advantages they have compared to the US.

One of the mentions in this article states Canada's oil and natural gas production is declining? The fact is Canada is selling more oil than it ever has. Takeaway capacity (pipelines) is increasing in Canada allowing for more oil production and will be increasing again by 2024 as additional takeaway capacity construction is completed. As far as Canadian oil sands oil being expensive to produce, the reality is the operators in the oil sands have reduced costs of production dramatically. The advantage of the oil sands is that Canadian oil producers do not have to spend heavily on exploration as they know where the oil is. Also, you will never have an ecological disaster like the Deepwater Horizon with Canada's oil sands. New oil discoveries off the coast of Nfld.& Lab. will be developed. Canada is a major oil exporter & Canada's oil reserves are the 4th largest oil reserves in the world. In Natural gas, Canada ranks as having the 18th largest world reserves. As far as natural gas there is the coastal link pipeline under construction and LNG facilities under construction on the west coast of Canada. These are over $40 billion projects the largest $ projects in the history of Canada.\n Much of Canada's wealth is in the ground. As the world demand increases for rare earth metals, copper, aluminium, steel, nickel, etc Canada is well-positioned to supply world markets. Canadian mining companies operate worldwide and the Canadian miners are both very experienced and good operators. \n You failed to acknowledge that Canada is a major agricultural producer country. In fact, Canada is a bread basket country that exports a lot of agricultural products, meat, and a large fishery industry.\n The article also fails to acknowledge Canada has a very well-developed social safety net system that is superior to many countries.

As a lifelong Canadian, agree 100% with you, this place went nuts last 3 years and has many other problems as well. Canada is trading on it;s name which is long since peaked and Canada doesn;t seem to figure that people have options and will go where they're treated best.

This video just gave me renewed purpose in Canada

Canada also has a leader that cares more about pronouns and issues like that rather than issues that impact the economy

i wish canada was still the least corrupt as the rest of the world assumes, but the thing with corruption in canada is that the leaders are actually fine, its the regular people that are corrupt and doing shady shit. immigration is killing canada. people with no money and no respect for the laws here do whatever they please

The problems with Canada economy:\n1. It’s being run by Canadians

Holy shit i dont know where this guy gets his info from. Canadas current prime minister is so ripe in corruption its unfathomable. Our state controlled media all covers his tracks and most Canadians have little to no savings due to unreal inflation. My country is slowly becoming a police state hell bent on extreme levels of immigration when there currently no infrastructure to support our current population. Canadians who can leave the country have been leaving as fast as they can.

the problem with Canada is arrogant, power mad, traitorous Trudeau. Isn't he the son of Castro the Communist?

The problem with Canada’s economy is TurdO and not so Freeland or better yet liberal/NDP politicians

The increasing reliance on foreign oil isn't helping Canada, either. Domestic oil (like Alberta's) will be mandated out of existence if the current government's mypoic focus on environmentalism and unrealistic goals are fulfilled.

. . . I don't think you have been to canada recently. I mean some things that you say are true, but some are ridiculous. But if you got your information from Canadas state run media, it is no wonder as to why you have inaccurate, or misleading information.

U have 0 rights in Canada! Even with Canadian citizenship!

Hello;thank you;i need to go in canada.

It seems that Canada is not a successful and prosperous country. It has become almost impossible to buy a house by working. it takes millions of immigrants but there are already millions of unemployed in the country, do they take so many immigrants to fill the empty lands, yes, but immigrants are not filling materials

The problem with Canada is that the entire economy consists of passing property deeds around. Nobody wants to invest in such an unfriendly business environment. There's no competition in so many sectors of Canadian society. Life is difficult and hopeless for many Canadians.

This is a very well made short video. Canada needs leadership that is bold enough to think about Canada's interest and plan for the long haul, rather than just content collecting money from land title transfer.

The problem with Canada right now is Trudeau

I gave up on working in Canada. With a marginal income tax rate of 53%, generating (self)employment income isn't worth it. So I have switched to only passive income streams. I have other highly educated friends who have vastly scaled back their active work activity in Canada, or who have moved to the United States, due to the immense taxes on employment income in Canada. Not only do Americans make more money, but there are many states with no state income tax, which also equates to much higher take home pay. My wife and I have already laid the groundwork for a move to Florida, with the purchase of a home in that state.

Canada has incredible amount of pump and dump scam stocks

What a mediocre effort, you said nothing that hasn't been said by Zeihan and other's, not to mention, you provided no suggestions for solutions, just an opportunity for the resident idiots to cry Trudeau, when in fact the last decade has been one of the most tumultuous Canada has seen for years.

Trudeau and his Liberal Government have desecrated Canada’s economy!

I came to Canada 2months back with a job with an above average salary but already figured I can't stay here for too long as it's not a place to settle down unless you are a factory/construction labour. It's a beautiful beautiful country with so many amazing people. But people who are running this country are not passionate or caring about Canada rather to their capitalist masters. For every problem I hear that it's not clear whose responsibility it is, fed, state or city or district etc. If you love Canada why would it be so difficult to figure that out as it is not a country created 2 years back. And housing prices can't be fixed till a decade at least, as you can't expect to devalue the assets by half suddenly, so you have to wait till the inflation normalizes it.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IN CANADA IS THE LIBERALS

It’s easier to move than invest in Canada

Canada's government is a bunch of rich people who's only concern is to make themselves richer. Then lie about what they did so they can get voted back in so they can steal more from taxpayers. Then the next government is forced to cut everything from education, to medicine, look like huge Aholes, so then we vote the idiots back in again that keep stealing from us. Not allot of time for improvement with all that going on.

In Canada everyone is greedy. Just go and rent commercial land for business then you will know how expensive is the rent. I am not talking about ghosts cities where only old people are living. To open a business you need thriving population which is in big cities. Just look in the morning after 5 a.m. all the major highways are full of vehicles going towards Toronto. Because all the big businesses are there as well as their head office.

Canada is not a democratic country and trust me, there is a lot of corruption, especially within Trudeau government. Just watch what happened during the pandemic and you'll never believe it was Canada, but rather you'd think it is a third world country

I’ve been debating for the past few years about moving to Canada. You guys just have solidified that for me.

But why ? Canada is shit now with Turd-doe. You going from bad to worst.

AOA SAMEER SAB MAIN GOVT K AIK PROJE T PER JOB KARTA HOON MERI INCOME 49000 HAI AUR MAIN CANADA K LIA APPLY KARNA CHAHTA HOON MERI BANK STATMENT NAHI HAI KIA MAIN APPLY KAR SAKTA HOON CANADA K LIA

Don’t bother coming to canada, hardly any jobs here

I'm a Canadian citizen I came legally under Federal Skilled worker pathway. I had cancer and recently lost my eyesight due to slip and fall. I sponsored my nephew 2021 as I am alone in Canada. But as a taxpayer, it hurts ?why does it take too long for immigration to consider its own citizens. My nephew had his medicals in August 2022 and nothing from immigration up to now. They prioritize Ukraine and Syria over taxpayers citizens. Too unorganized and fake. Pretending to help people at war and calamities from other countries neglecting its own people who contribute to economy.?

Canada can’t even take care of the people they already have and this shit is happening? What a fucking joke.

?I am amazed. Canada is not suitable for living. It is very cold, very expensive, and many taxes. The Middle East is crazy, warm and beautiful.

All these immigrants dying to be proud patriotic Americans while ironically you got everyday Americans;\n\nhating to be here in the greatest country in the world but would rather be China or Canada\n\nsupporting TikTok communist company \n\nburning our flags\n\nBurning our cities down in the name of summerly love \n\ndenouncing their citizenships \n\ngiving away their rights to arms, freedom of speech and right to assembly \n\nDon’t want to work but crying for handouts \n\nArguing about what is a woman \n\n\nThese people looking to build families, work and start a life here supporting the American dream

There are around 30 million undocumented immigrants in USA . There are 20 Million undocumented immigrants in India. Guess what, the illigal migrants to US and canada are at least polite people looking for better life. The illigals in Indja just want the demographic change

Mainu v dasso Canada work karna hai, I am willing

We have way to many migrants in Canada, but it's okay our prime minister will help them and give them a bunch of money and give them an amazing life! Everything will be taken care for them while other Canadians get screwed over

Every single reason you mentioned about why you left Vancouver (Canada) is valid. My husband and I left Vancouver a couple of years ago and have been living in Spain since then. It's been an eye opener. The Covid situation was especially bad and I hate to see how politicians have divided Canada. Under Trudeau, Canada has become a tyrannical state. I am not sure if there will be any hope for change since most Canadians watch CBC and have been brainwashed to believe he has done great for the country.
