A country ruined

A comment from Garth Turners blog that I have been reading for years.


While everyone is counting their money, here is some words from the young Canadians struggling to come up with a reason to live and work here.

“What’s the point living here?
I am a young person born and raised in Ontario.
Maybe 5 years ago myself and all my friends had 0% chance of ever living elsewhere and now all of us are eyeing America. All of us have decent enough white collar jobs.
All of us would rather fight for the US if WW3 broke out. I would feel like a traitor fighting “for Canada”.
What is Canada anymore? Not what I was born into and raised in.
Every decision this country has made has made my life harder EVERY single year. I work hard everyday, got my first job at 14 at timmies, saved money, went to school, got educated, and now I won’t be able to afford my own home, my own piece of land…
What’s the point in staying here?
Who turned Canada into a tax farm?”

“Canada is a scam POS place to live now. Full of greed.
The world is taking advantage of our lax immigration laws, immigrants coming here are multiplying like gremlins destroying our health care and available jobs.
People glorify real estate and think it’s a good thing for it to go up faster than the rate of inflation.

The scam government controls supply and demand of real estate by turning up and down the immigration taps.
Canada no longer receives my business, no gifts, no eating out, no tipping, etc….”

“I am grooming my adult kids to leave; I’m leaving. Canada has changed from a place for educated immigrants to a place for desperate refugees/asylum seekers. We are following Frances model. Wich means taxes go way, way up and riots and chaos go up with them.

What the frak do you think is gonna happen when 4 or 5 hundred thousand brown dudes in one city are freezing and hungry and have no work?
So Canada is great…. if you’re looking for a free ride on the tax payer dollar. If you’re trying to build wealth? Go south.”

Listened to Ganum today as it is Friday and Cross Talk with other radio hosts in Canada. The guy from B.C. mentioned shootings in Surrey which was the first any of them heard - too busy giving Canadians news from south of the border. After the show Shay had open line and a long time listener (tesla Jim) phoned in and said he watches all the Global news from AB and Canada and knew nothing about it. I hadn't either. Do we need further proof that the Canadian media is corrupt.

Does anyone know if Dougie has commented on the "Crown Royal Players championship of curling in Manitoba. I must admit I had to look twice to see if I was actually seeing correctly. Good for a chuckle. Ontario only made the dam bottles not the booze.
