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.”

We all know this but after Carney's address to the nation last night need to be reminded.

Truth and is Hard to believe, but appears people are easily persuaded…..
The most telling lines of PM Mark Carney’s propaganda video of earlier this week were the last two:
”Our Canada Strong plan … it’s already working, let’s keep going,” he said before signing off.
He’d be better off saying: “Look into my eyes … my indoctrination efforts are working. I will keep going.”
This 10-minute video was yet another in a series of Carney gaslighting efforts, full of lies, damn lies and more lies.
Of course, with the help of the compliant legacy media — paid handsomely for their efforts — and an equally dutiful Liberal caucus, the weak-minded have and will lap it all up.
It only takes intellectual insight and a little fact-checking, however, to realize how much Carney stretched the truth.
It’s amazing how excessive hubris will lead one to make claims out of thin air.
He did not create Forward Guidance while Governor of the Bank of Canada during the financial crisis in 2008, as he contended. According to many reports, this economic ...
