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.”

calling things by their names
The matter is made all the more complex by the fact that the man who tackled the shooter was ahmed al-ahmed a sydney resident, father of two, and small business owner (a nearby produce market). ahmed is also a muslim and a first-generation immigrant, apparently from lebanon.
so, it just goes to show you, there are good people everywhere, a fact that once made selected and selective immigration so beneficial to the west.

COMMENT:
"Getting rewarded for compliance with the corporate narrative, getting rewarded for playing the big pharma game and complying with the rigid ideology of the medical corporatists. This is the heart of the problem as it pertains to poor treatments and even poorer outcomes. There's too much money/lucre/$$$$ being used to corrupt the system into complying with the big money formula. The answer must necessarily lie with educating the public about alternative approaches to all aspects of human health; including how to treat cancer. This is what trailblazers like Dr. Makis are doing. Podcasts such as this one are getting the word out there. It's up to people to give their heads a shake and liberate themselves from this obviously corrupt money-making machine.
