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.”

Sadly!

April 13, 2026 — the day Canada’s democracy didn’t just falter, it collapsed in plain sight.

For the first time in the entire history of the Westminster system, floor crossings have triggered a fundamental shift in parliamentary power without a single vote cast. Not one. Let that sink in. The very mechanism meant to uphold democracy has now been exposed as a tool to completely bypass it. When a government can so casually discard the principle of “BY THE PEOPLE,” rendering every citizen’s vote meaningless, only the willfully blind could still believe it governs “FOR THE PEOPLE.” The fact that this even has to be said about Canada is beyond alarming—it’s infuriating.
Blaming Pierre Poilievre for this disgraceful, corrupt spectacle—despite the exposed money trails, the ulterior motives, the blatant lack of integrity—is like blaming a loyal spouse for being betrayed. It’s absurd. It’s a reflection of just how far we’ve fallen. Not long ago, before Trudeau’s leadership took hold, ...

Hard to believe Canadians are so dumb when voting! Not sure who it was that is going to look into it from US, or who posted it, but a pretty complete list of NO accountability for last 12 years…..

BREAKING NEWS …🇨🇦 The receipts are finally coming for the Carney government.

U.S. investigator @nickshirleyy just confirmed Canada is his next target.
The Hit List for Nick:

The world is watching. Let’s see how "principled" this government is under a real lens. 📉🛑
