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.”

Interesting….
I am going to break some things down about COASTAL FIRST NATIONS. In British Columbia there are 204 Chiefs, 130 (give or take by 10) of them belong to the Union of BC Indian Chiefs. The UBCIC is more present in news and media than others since they represent the majority of native people.
There is an annual fee to join the Union and it's structured by nation size, it ranges from $500 to $2000 and it's paid for by the nation (tax dollars in reality) not by the Chief.
When an org and ngo is placed as "representing" native people it is usually put to a vote by the Chiefs - not the average native person. I can tell you with 100% certainty, that although UBCIC does support Coastal First Nations, they did not hold a provincial wide referendum for all the Chiefs to vote on this matter.
This is abnormal and very telling, that only 80 Chiefs out of 204 are in public support of Coastal First Nations representing them. This is because many Chiefs also do not support CFN nor were they consulted...
Interesting as didn't know he wasn't well.
