I don't know your situation but being accepted to a university and getting a student visa worked for a lot of people I've known, it's easier to go somewhere to study than to go there to work when you haven't settled far into a professional career yet. Either undergraduate or graduate school. They'll then try to leverage the connections they made or the degree they picked up to secure a work visa if they want to stay longer. but of course that all depends on if extra education is a good fit for you personally, international student tuition can run really expensive

>>1867585Ottawa is one of the most depressing cities in this country. The "cohesive culture" you experienced must have short-circuited your brain if you thought there was any sort of culture in that city. When I lived in Ottawa in the mid 2010s it was literally a collection of people from small-towns with cliquish small-minded attitudes who refused to integrate into a larger city atmosphere. The crime rate was insane then, I remember walking once at night and having being followed by not just one homeless crackhead, but
two homeless crackheads! Ottawa's downtown core literally has less than 10k people living in it… yet the same homeless population as Toronto's downtown. The majority of Ottawa's population live 40 minutes west, east, or south of downtown in the suburban communities filled with NIMBYs and socially-inept government workers that would eat Justin Turdeau's whole big sweaty shitty asshole for an hour straight if they ever got the chance.

Vancouver sucks. The Van suburbs suck. Edmonton sucks. Toronto sucks HARD. The GTA sucks. Ottawa sucks. North ON sucks (mostly). Montreal is aight. Fredericton sucks. Charlottetown sucks. Halifax sucks, but is kind of interesting if you ignore the screaming hobos.
I have lived all over this country and the only places that I have genuinely enjoyed are the territories, Kelowna, and Calgary.
There are so many bums on meth everywhere. I don't mind talking to nice hobos, but we do not have those kind of hobos. We have the stabby kind.
You can't even defend yourself when you get attacked by degenerate moids because the only people that the Canadian government throws in prison are domestic normies ones who actually have a future & who are acting in self defence. Serial killers, pedos, rapists and violent immigrants get off scott-free.
Nowhere has affordable rent. High-skill jobs have 100s of applicants. Low-skilled jobs are even worse. The jobs that our homegrown teenagers depend on, like working at McD's, are now completely impossible for domestic kids because of all of the cheap labour we're importing from India. These international students are devaluing our degrees with RECORD amounts of cheating. It is literally a part of their culture to cheat & to get ahead hand over fist. Their cultural values are completely opposite to our own. And they still graduate after they cheat. They just get a slap on the wrist (trust me, I TA'd for multiple grad level courses). Our major cities are crowded af. When you get East of Ontario it's full of wannabe gangsters even though our whole country is backwoods. I thought that NB would be more rural but no, all the moids there are just poser street-rats like in Ontario who worship rappers and play GTA all day.
This whole country is shit honestly. You can only escape the shit by travelling to either small pocket communities or by going North up to the territories.

I prefer to hunt & fish rather than buying meat from the store. I do buy vegetables though because I'm shit at growing things. I fly helis for work so road access is not something that worries me.
Government representation is a fair worry in a real democracy, but honestly I feel like it is a moot point with the system that we have now. We are not represented either way. None of our candidates are for the people. We're just given the illusion of choice to make it seem like a democracy. We don't even get to vote on who our PM is. We just vote on either the red/blue team, then whoever is the most popular makes the decision for us of who our leader is. There is no realistic way that an independent candidate with honourable values can win in our current system. It's all rigged. I'm just trying to gtfo this cursed country.

>>1874289Just chiming in to agree with all you other nonners. Rebel News is trash for sure, but they should still be allowed to speak their piece like any other citizen or news org. All news orgs have a slant. It's nothing new.
That is something that rubbed me the wrong way about the whole Freedom Convoy fiasco. I don't align with the right wing on 90% of issues. But they still have the right to protest just like anyone else. It is a part of being a free country. The fact that they FROZE PEOPLE'S BANK ACCOUNTS just for participating in the convoy should scare every single Canadian. It is totalitarian and disgusting. None of our citizens should have to worry about having their life's assets nullified just because they voiced a political view that does not align with our government. That was a huge regressive overstep, and I am glad that JT is finally being punished (albeit softly and too late) for it.
Not only that, but he straight up called them Nazis. I remember there was a Jewish MP at the time who supported the convoy, and he called her a Nazi to her face with no self-awareness.
I hate what most conservatives stand for, but they are still citizens of our country. This kind of "you are a bigot, full stop" rhetoric is doing nothing but harming us. We used to be able to coexist in a mostly centrist way. Now the liberals are just stoking the fire for extremism.
It makes me scared for our future. They are destroying our ability to disagree civilly.
No. 1875862
>>1875810Classic Canadian move:
>Call protestors nazis.>Invite verified nazi soldier into parliament and give him a standing ovation.I lived in downtown Ottawa during the convoy and 95% of media I see about the convoy is falsified and dramatized to insane levels. The left-wing make it seem like it was violent riots meant to destroy democracy, the right-wing make it seem like it was a valiant effort to restore democracy suppressed by the evil autocrats of Parliament Hill. What was it actually, you may ask? It was a group of clueless, confused, disorganized, drunk people. It was pretty obvious from the start that the majority of protestors were just sniffing their own farts and upset because of meme-formatted disinformation that they read on Facebook. There were no "riots" or "demonstrations" so to speak, it was really just a bunch of (very obviously) lower-class people honking in their cars and screaming "FREE-DUMB!!" (whenever they chanted "freedom" they said it in a weird two-syllable way that made it sound like "free dumb" which was pretty funny) congregated in the downtown core, which is a relatively small and unimportant area in the Ottawa metropolitan area. Midway through the protest (about 10-14 days after it began) more than half of the protestors that came realized it was pointless and left the city, and the remaining stragglers were too busy getting off on "pwning the libs" to accept that their participation (and the whole event, really) was devoid of any definitive meaning. It was actually HELL going into an LCBO or a dispensary during the convoy because the lines were so long all-day due to all the people from out-of-town who acted super obnoxiously. They treated the workers/everyone who lived in Ottawa like they were parliamentarians themselves and took out a lot of their frustration on us. What shocked me the most was how many clearly paranoid-schizophrenic moids dragged their wives and children across the country to participate in the event. The large number of cold hungry kids not attending school and living in their parents' cars was one of the only things that really shocked me about the convoy. It made me feel sad for the kids, most of them had this really melancholic and dissociated look in their eyes whenever I'd pass by them on my way to get groceries or booze or wherever I was walking at the time.

>>1881715>>1881728>>1881730>>1881750I always tend to vote with whatever party offers the best platform for working-class people. I voted NDP in the past because I liked the idea of universal dental & optical care, plus Jack was a really personable leader. I think the major problem I have today with the NDP is their leader. He's my definition of "everything wrong with the modern leftist." I wish that the federal NDP realized that their leader is what's been costing them election after election. I don't like Pierre because I've under the impression that conservative/liberals are two sides of the same coin (literally just rich people LARPing as politicians so they don't have to do work), and from his party's platform it doesn't seem like he wants to curb immigration or the amount of student visas issued. I don't feel like wasting my vote on the conservative party just because of the trans issue, just because I don't think its a big deal in the grand scheme of things. I don't think I'll vote for anybody in the upcoming election. I just don't see a point in doing so when no party has issued a comprehensive platform for a person in my demographic, as well as the FPP system (something Turdeau said he'd get rid of back in the mid-2010s ugh). I'm feeling very removed from the current political landscape, and I guess that's in line with my aspirations to emigrate. The majority of my friends have begun to work towards emigrating as well, so maybe I'm in a sort of echo chamber when I say I don't believe that there's much left for me in this country.

In 2023 Canada had a growth rate similar to failed states. Canada has a population of 40 million, the USA has a population of 330 million, yet Canada took on more immigrants than the USA did in 2023. Picrel is an example of that immigration policy in action when compared to amount of housing units completed per annum. It's why any Canadian with a brain is planning their escape from the country before shit really hits the fan in the late 2020s.

The majority of Canadians are very politically uneducated, and they don't care about the major political parties nor their platforms.

I found this site yesterday and read through a bunch of it in horror and need to talk to someone about it.
This website basically profiles and chronicles Canadian crime and gangsters, including tons of videos of them jumping people or videos of men who appear to have been kidnapped, stripped naked and beaten. I don't get how they get all this footage, it must be compiled by an informant or someone in law enforcement right? or in collaboration with guys who roll in packs so one can shoot and another can literally film their enemies dying. Why can I click a link and see a video of a powerful Canadian drug lord screaming his brother's name while he dies in front of him? (link related) It's also written by someone whose clearly kind of retarded but trying to sound professional, here is an example:
"Whenever we wake up these days, we race to our phone to see if anyone else has just got shot. The last few days have honestly felt exactly the same as when we were reporting on homicides almost daily; back when Harb/KG were murdered (excellent write-up, make sure you’ve tuned in if you haven’t)."
This isn't racebait because if you grew up here you know that it's a reality that a lot of Indians and Somalians are involved in crime. I am not singling them out but I am complaining about the justice system here because everyone knows how it is such a joke in this country. This website also shows how the majority of the Indian men who turn to crime are from middle class families and there is absolutely no necessity for them to live that life, but it seems their uncles and cousins recruit them at a young age and they want fast money. I have so little sympathy for men who get killed being involved in a gang lifestyle, literally the only ones they have to blame is themselves. Shown on here many times is men who kill for money next to pictures of the Mcmansions they grew up in and their moms who look like normal classy Indian women.
If you're going to read it, the old links on the blog are better and more interesting, they are running out of content so they're covering vintage crime now. Be warned there is videos of extreme violence on here.

If you really want to get out, do it within the next year or two before the government raises the exit tax higher than it already is.

Question for Canadafags
I've been a client of RBC and CIBC for most of my life. Right now, I have a chequing account with RBC and CIBC, and then and I have credit cards and TFSA with RBC. Lately I've been thinking about closing my CIBC account and opening a new account with a different bank. Before I do, I just wanted to ask a few nonas about what bank they use. My questions are:
>Which of the big 5 banks do you deal with right now?
>Do you have any negative experiences with a certain bank?
>What are the pros/cons of your current bank?
>Do you know if certain banks have the best offers, deals, etc., when compared to other banks?
I think it's crazy we only have 5 major banks here! Sometimes I feel like they're all the same anyway. I got a free pair of Airpods from RBC two summers ago for opening a new account with them, so that was cool. I was just hoping to gauge others experiences with banks before opening a new account with one of them. If you have anything you wanna share or complain about, I hope you reply!

>>2016779>I'm a poorfagStart saving everything you can. My advice on how to save money as poorfag is: 1) Plan your meals (only have 2 a day and no snack items) around what's on sale in flyers at grocery stores. Compared to my friends I spend 40% less on groceries just because I stick to sale items and don't buy junk. 2) Switch to the cheapest phone plan, for me that means switching my carrier every year once the "cheap 1st year" contract runs out. It's not as big a hassle as it seems because usually you can keep your number. 3) If possible, sign up for KOHO and use that as your main chequing account since they offer the best cash-back deals right now especially with grocery stores (I also think the pink debit cards are cute kek). 4) Quit weed, alcohol, and nicotine if you're addicted to any of those. I used to smoke 2 oz/month because I was trying to cope with being a poorfag in a decaying country but then I realized that it was just a money sink and that a lot of countries have the right to test you for drugs on arrival and can revoke your visa if you don't pass. 5) Make a weekly or monthly budget and
stick to it, this is the major thing that separates me from my more financially irresponsible friends and I credit my budget and sticking to it with helping lift me out of poverty.
>I feel like I fucked up by not going to uni/studying abroad instead.Studying abroad is the biggest scam out there. It's like how all the international students have to pay 3x the amount national students pay here. All of my friends that did a year abroad hated the experience. Why bother going abroad just to be stuck in a crap uni-town and focused more on studying than experiencing the culture or saving money. Once of my friends went to France for a year in uni and she ended up spending 45k. She's still paying off her credit card debts to this day. Don't bother having regrets about what could have been because it's just retarded - the past doesn't exist anymore, only the idea of a future does. Remember it's ALWAYS better to do your education here in Canada as a citizen because you get a much more cost-effective experience and because most countries will recognize Canadian diplomas or degrees.
>The state of the Ontario job market makes me wanna rope.Unfortunately this is just what the business-owner and politician-class want. They want a slew of under-educated workers from foreign countries that don't understand the labour market or culture here, that way they can pay them very cheaply and give them a shit life here for cheaper than just paying a born-Canadian for the job. At my old workplace, next door was a Pizza Pizza, and of the 25 people that worked there 23 worked illegally and were only being paid $6/hour. It's crazy because a lot of people don't actually want to admit how disastrous the immigrant problem is, even though it hurts both immigrants and citizens. They have to live like slaves and we have to live like broke bitches. It sucks, but the rich get richer this way so they won't change it. It's not just an Ontario problem, it's a national problem and no political party wants to address it because they all profit from it.
>I don't know where to startFirst of, if you don't have your passport get it now. Start looking into countries that are safe and secure, and that you'd be interested in inhabiting. Then, look into which countries have a need for legal admins. Most countries that offer work visas will provide a list of jobs that are "in demand" that you can browse. From that, Look into the COL between various cities in the countries and start deciding where you'd like to go. Look into the work visa situation in the various choices you have, and choose which one is best for you. Before you go, if you don't have at least 10k saved, take out a Mastercard or Visa credit card for at least 8-10k and use that for your launching pad. All the best.

>>2020440Avoid Lowertown and Sandy Hill after dark because it's where all the crackheads live. Ottawa has a third the population of Toronto but the same amount of homeless people, they're congregated in a much smaller area. Most people are either from Ottawa or from small-towns and moved for uni, so the atmosphere is very cliquish and it'll he hard to make friends. There's no night life, and you will hear everybody complain about this, so get ready to buy VIA rail tickets to Montreal or Toronto for the weekend. The O-Train is alright but Rideau station smells really bad, I'm not sure if they ever fixed it but when they built the station they built it in a naturally occuring sulphur deposit. Byward Market is overpriced and not worth the hype, but you'll have to listen to people hype it up as cope. The National Gallery is fun the first time you go, but all other museums are trash and the ones in Toronto and Montreal are way better. If you see any cars with red license plates, those are diplomatic mission cars and they will not follow the rules of the road and if they hit you or run you over they have diplomatic immunity so do not stay close to those cars. You will see many protests downtown about retarded non-issues that will block off traffic and make moving around difficult. Kanata and Orleans aren't even part of Ottawa they're two towns 40 minutes each way from downtown that get included in Ottawa like how Oakville and Ajax are considered part of Toronto. Likewise Nepean was once it's own city but now it's just another neighbourhood, and people that live in Nepean will always remind you of this fact. uOttawa and uCarleton are filled with retards that rent most of the nicer apartments in the neighbourhoods close to their campuses, in September they clog things up and will cause a ruckus as all they do is pop pills smoke weed and drink, so if you live near them you will be kept up late. Besides students most people are government workers with no personality or zest for life and they will be in bed asleep by 9:00PM, the city dies after 11:00PM. I'm not sure if it's different now, but when I lived there the city didn't plow the sidewalks for snow in winter, or salt them for ice. There's a lot of snow in winter so be prepared to crawl through it and get your pants and boots soaking wet. Winter was always harsh, really cold and really snowy, and I saw a few corpses of the homeless people that had frozen to death in the night when I lived there. They say you can skate on the canal when it freezes over in winter, but usually that's only for 3-4 in days per year that they'll open it for skating. It felt like the city was extra dead between October and April due to the weather. Gatineau across the river is just as bad as Ottawa, but the Quebecois there won't appreciate your presence in their turf if you do decide to go over. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Honestly living in Ottawa was really bad. It was the worst years of my life, not for any reason besides where I was living. I've been all over the country Atlantic to Pacific coast, and through the US too, but Ottawa is my least favourite city that I've ever experienced. Even tourists can't have fun; when I was there homeless people would camp outside the parliament in tents and defecate on the world war memorial grounds. Good luck. I feel bad for you because our capital city is one of the worst cities in the country.

I was chatting in my discord server how depressing the small town albertan women have it. When I graduated hs and my friend turned 18 her mom was basically bringing her to bars and meet the local rigpigs because their money would take care of her. She ended up getting with a 40 year old man and after they inevitably broke up she is now engaged to an American woman. Another friend around the same age was pushed by her mom to go home with a man who had two children and she’s become their stepmom at 21 or so. Most of the women I went to school with have all ended up like this where they settle for ugly rigpigs. Yes, it’s nice money and they can stay at home but they’re also setting themselves up for failure and have deal with their husband’s addiction problems. It’s sad that a lot of these women aren’t encouraged to pursue their own careers and lives.

>>2020515Dear God this is depressing. I went to Ottawa for a weekend trip with my class in 2012 and we had a nice time visiting museums, historical sites, touring the parliament building etc. I don't remember seeing really any homeless people, although even through rose-coloured glasses I can't imagine it was as bad back then as you describe now. How could we let it get like this? Isn't a country's capital city supposed to be its shining pride?
On a similar note, London ON fucking sucks. The downtown area is full of homeless druggies who shout shit at people constantly and closed down businesses. I once saw a crackhead attempt to snatch a woman's bag on the street in the middle of the day, and when her taxi driver grabbed it back (he was helping her unload her stuff) the crackhead threatened to report him to his work and get him fired for "assaulting" him. I was told that got like that within the past 15 years or so.

>>2036237>I went for a weekend trip with my class in 2012If it was with an elementary school tour group (like the ones from ON that go to QC for a weekend in 8th or 9th grade), the homeless population could have been swept beforehand for safety. They do the same thing when certain groups like broadcasts or ambassadorial regions. From what I've heard and seen though, the problem really started in 2013/2014 when the opiate crisis started ramping up in ON. Probably the most egregious instance is there is a large (20-30) population of Inuit that are homeless in Lowertown specifically, what happened there is the federal government had some education program for Nunavut where participants could come to Ottawa to work or learn, but after the program ended the federal government neglected to give the participants a way to return home (tickets to go were free but tickets to go home weren't), so a lot of them ended up stuck on the streets homeless where they developed addictions and mental health afflictions. A few of them had left by 2018, but most remain stuck on the streets with no way to make it back home. It's really a sad story and it highlights how mismanaged the federal government can be.
>How could we let it get like this? Isn't a country's capital city supposed to be its shining pride?Basically Ottawa the city is split from Ottawa the capital. Like, the municipality of Ottawa is a separate legal entity from the sites that the federal government owns and controls, so the municipality has no jurisdiction over the federal portion and vice versa. The municipality only controls 89% of the landmass that is Ottawa. They always get stuck in petty arguments and they have dichotomous ideas of how the city should be, and how to design the city.
The original master-plan of the city (remember, Ottawa was meant to be a constructed capital like Washington D.C. or Brasília) was developed in 1950 after Canadian home-rule was assured. It was called the
Gréber Plan, and this Gréber guy had designed a capital city modeled on the "City Beautiful" movement and the garden city idea, along with a comprehensive on Beaux-Arts architectural design. He had also worked on some of the more well-known areas of Philadelphia in the U.S.A., and his design was very wonderful but, it was never followed through on. The municipality and federal government couldn't agree on what parts of the plan to implement, which ones to change, etc., so although Ottawa has many winding scenic parkways and some architecturally beautiful buildings in its downtown core, it is plagued by the problems of deviating from a plan and from stupid disagreements between two powers that can't figure out how to share land. It sucks because the original Gréber plan was very wonderful and it could have led to us having a capital designed after Paris or Philadelphia, but because the municipality and federal government have developed the city so far from the original plan, we're left with a city that's too spread out, not well connected, disjointed, and poorly-managed.
>>2020440Also another thing to mention to you that I remember when typing this diatribe out: the buses are shit. When I lived there in the late 10's and early 20's, the buses were always at least 30 minutes late. There was never, not once, that I experience a bus coming on time (and I used to take the bus 2 or 4 times a day). Once I was waiting on a bus that's supposed to come every 15 minutes for 2 hours. I wasted so much time waiting that eventually I decided to not to anything but wait and see how long it'd actually take, and it was 2 hours before I saw a bus should have been at that stop 8 times within those 2 hours. The bus system is just horrible, you're better off walking and taking the train because at least that is reliable. Don't rely on buses for any important meetings or for winter travel.

The whole purpose of this country was the extraction of raw materials to send them to Britain to be processed and made into manufactured goods. That's the whole point of this country.

Now that there is no British Empire, instead of that it's just rich multi-national corporations that rob the land and give nothing back. The Canadian government and economy serve the multi-national corporations, not the people that live in Canada. Canada has the third largest oil reserves in the world but some of the most expensive gasoline; the most expensive phone and internet plans in the developed world; the population growth rate of an undeveloped country like Afghanistan; a corrupt and mismanaged government system; Canada's household debt is the worst of the G7 nations; and, Canadians have some of the highest rates of credit card debt in the world. Canada is basically America but without the rights and freedoms or the good economy. Wake up and smell the roses. It's a country that's designed to make rich foreigners richer and poor citizens poorer. It's been going on since this place got colonized. From our very beginning the wealthier Canadians would eventually move on to Europe or America after their youth in Canada, even back then they knew there was nothing worth it here for successful people, and that's true even into the modern day.

>>2053012>All of the Indian people are just here temporarily on visas, right?This is somewhat true. Canada issues the most student visas in the world in 2023. Most young immigrants you'll see in urban areas are here on student visas to attend private colleges. Often times, they'll begin illegally working when they land and by the time they've finished their college diplomas, they'll be ready for permanent residency. Besides that, since graduation from any tertiary education program grants the holder of the student visa the right to a 3-year work permit, it's basically just an easy-way into permanent residency. The tertiary education scene in Canada is a shit-show. To explain it succinctly: in Canada, most universities are open to the public and are funded in part by government grants alongside tuition from students. Since most universities are more stringent in terms of whom they accept, there are sizeable minorities of international students that attend these universities that pay a lot more money than a citizen. In a way, universities prefer international students because they can rinse more money out of them. Yet, universities can't take in too many international students because they need room for domestic students and because the guidelines to attend university are much stricter. Colleges, on the other hand, are mostly privately run. They can charge however much they'd like for international students, and there's no cap on the amount that they'll take. That's why most international students in Canada right now are attending private colleges, like Sheridan, Humber, Conostoga, etc.. It's very lopsided in the sense that the chancellor of Ryerson University actually makes less money than the CEO of Humber College, even though the former is vastly superior in terms of education quality and research output when compared to the latter. Colleges are held to much much laxer guidelines than universities are, so by proxy their students are held to much laxer rules and regulations as well. Some recent research has shown that as many as 50% of people here on student visas actually don't attend the colleges they say they do, and that 40% of all international students in the country go to the same half-dozen private colleges in Ontario. These colleges basically act as an affordable low-stake environment for immigrants to gain permanent residency in Canada as a semi-legal loophole. Most of these colleges offer subpar education in fields that aren't useful in the Canadian job market, i.e., if you weren't Canadian and you had about CA$30,000, you could apply for a cake decorating course at a private college, get a student visa, come into the country, never attend the class you signed up for, and after 2 years of illegally working under the table you'd be granted the right for a work permit at which point you could send for 5-6 members of your extended family to join you here and after 3 more years of labour you'd have citizenship. All without ever having to do any college work at all. All without having any skills viable or competitive in our economy. It's a very corrupt and lackluster system, but there is so much money tied up into the private college industry that the government is very hesitant to step in (for example, a lot of Ontarian MPs and MPPs have stock in these businesses).
>Why they all came at once and from the same regionThe major place that international "students" are coming from right now is a state of India known as Punjab. Since the early 2000s, ethnic and religious tensions in Punjab have become amplified by political extremism. There was a period of time in the early 2000s when Punjabis wanted to separate from India and become their own country, but this was squashed by the central Indian government. Since that point in time, a lot of Punjabis have been trying to leave India because they're upset at how it all turned out. Punjab is one of the least developed and most dangerous states in India, it has some of the highest rates of female infanticide, rape, and bride-murder in the country. Interestingly, Punjabis are strongly disliked by Indians. If you know any Indians from other states like Goa, Telangana, etc., you ask them their thoughts on Punjabi people and they'll tell you the same complaints you've heard from Canadians: no manners, tribalism, sexual deviancy, staring, littering, lying, cheating, etc.. Punjabis are well-known in India for being the least civilized of any Indian. The Punjabi mentality and culture is incompatible with mainstream modern Indian society, and especially incompatible with western cultures. I'm not saying every Punjabi is like that of course, but even in India people don't like to deal with them which I think says a lot about the cultural mindset. Interestingly, the Punjabi independence movement never died down and it's still going on today. Now, Punjabi separatist leaders hold non-binding referendums for the diaspora in Western countries (you may have noticed the "VOTE FOR KHALISTAN" (Khalistan is their name for the independent Punjabi homeland) signs around Punjabi-majority neighbourhoods, they were doing a lot of political work mid-Pandemic. Imagine if all the American people here got together and decided to hold a referendum to decide whether Michigan should secede from the USA, but only Americans outside the USA and Michigan could vote. That's how retarded it is.
This is also a source of Canadian-Indian diplomatic issues, because so many people considered to be ethnic and religious terrorists by the Indian state for their work at destabilizing the Punjab region find themselves at home in Canada, as permanent residents, due to our country's ultra-lax and irresponsible immigration scheme, and these people are supposed to be untouchable to the Indian government while on Canadian soil. Obviously, this pisses off the Indian government. There was a diplomatic spat last year when Indian government officials killed a well-known terrorist here in Canada without the approval of the Canadian government. I.e., some random people from India came into Canada, killed a Canadian permanent resident, and never faced any legal consequences. I don't think that this was a one-off event. As Canada continues to allow terrorists and other social undesirables into the country as citizens or permanent residents, other countries will continue to work in the shadows and work against the authority and sovereignty of the Canadian government. Essentially, if a foreign government doesn't like you, should they be allowed to come to your country to kill you? That's the question. Already in some countries, like Australia and New Zealand, they no longer issue student visas to Punjabis because of all the headache and crassness involved with dealing with them. There's just too much lying, too much bribery, too much cheating the system, it's not worth it.

>>2053584>Wow, great explanation nona. You really gave a clear non-biased perspective on the issue. Thank you. I've seen this topic spring up a few times on LC, and it always turns into petty racebait (e.g., reeee Indians smelly reee) but there's actually a lot more to it. Racism in Canada is different than American racism. How it works here is that every decade or so, a new ethnic group becomes the "main immigrant" supply group for whatever reason, and for that decade they will be universally loathed and hated on by the established Canadian society. Right now it's Punjabis, but in 5-10 years it'll most likely be a different ethnic group. The problem isn't the ethnicity or the race of the people coming, although their culture can create issues, it's solely the fault of a mismanaged education system bolstered by a bureaucratic government that is afraid to take responsibility for anything (yes, even clapping for Nazi veterans). The government uses poor racial relations and ethnic divides to further distract the public from the idiocy and failure of the federal and provincial bureaucrats.
>Do you think the new student visa rules will help quell the permanent resident scam going on with the colleges?Not at all. It's too little and too late. For the past decade or so, Canada has been issuing more student visas than the USA does, a country with a population 9 times greater than Canada. For the past three years, Canada's population growth rate has mirrored the growth rate observed in failed states like Afghanistan during the civil war. Surprisingly, admitting over 3 million people over 3 years is bad for any country's economy and infrastructure. Who would have guessed. It's not sustainable. Trudeau's master housing plan (
https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2024/04/12/announcement-canadas-housing-plan ) suggests building at least 800k houses by 2031, but by that time if the immigration trends continue, by that time there will have been over 2 million (I'm using the low end) student visa applications approved, and more than likely 2 million work permits issues. The Canadian housing crisis is more than likely to continue into the 2060s or 2070s.
It's not looking good. The federal government's immigration plan is unsustainable and predicated on denial of intrinsic issues with the country, especially the way the government system is laid out and how it reacts to national problems. Although the federal government blames the provincial governments for not checking these diploma-mills, at the end of the day it's the federal government that is responsible for handing out the visas and work permits. The government officials know what's happening is unpopular and bad for the country, but they will always downplay the severity of the issue and point the blame at others instead of the system that allowed this all to happen to begin with. The federal minister mentioned that he plans to decrease the amount of student visas issued by upwards of 30%, but 70% of 2024's 435,000 visas is still 304500 people each year, and once they finish their fake diploma they're free to get a work permit and permanent residency. At this point, the only thing that would work is the provincial and federal governments working together to create a new tertiary education system that is majority public and does not allow for the massive profit-making that currently goes on in private colleges across the country.

I don’t understand the complaints of “Indians are smelly” but i DO understand the complaints coming from women who now feel unsafe because they’re practically surrounded by men from one of the rape capitols of the world. It is only a matter of time before we have gang rapes being reported.

>>2054057Thank you for your kind compliment. I wanted to write a longer post about it because a lot of Canadians don't realize what's going on with the tertiary education sector and how the crazy greed and corruption of this sector is a big contributor to the major problems the country faces. A lot of people want to point to one single problem and blame the state of the country on that, (e.g., "it's all immigrants' fault!!) instead of looking at life with a wide lens and realizing that there's a web of many different interconnected issues that is causing the decline in QOL and standard of living here.
>>2053990It can come across as racebait because believe it or not, white 6th-generation Canadian men are also capable of gang rape. The problem isn't the colour or creed of scrote, it's the fact that they're scrotes. It hearkens to this false sense of security that the scrotes you're familiar with are
good but the scrotes that are strangers are
bad, when really
all scrotes are bad. It's this idea that nature of a scrote is dependent on his race, which is racist in a way because all scrotes have that innate fucked up evil nature. I.e.,
>It is only a matter of time before we have gang rapes being reported.is a silly line of thinking because there are
already gang rapes here that aren't reported and aren't dealt with due to the horrible joke of a justice system that we have. It's not just one race or ethnicity that contributes to these problems, it's the fact that there's an immigration issue, an education issue, a government issue, a justice issue, etc., and those all work together to create a bad country. Hopefully that makes sense.

>>2057059>What do you think is gonna happen to the rent prices?As more and more people are given student visas and work permits, the housing market is gonna continue to constrict and worsen. Right now the average home costs ~$720k, by 2030 it'll most likely be in the ~$1.4-1.6 million range. Rent has skyrocketed from an average of <$1000/month to a new average of >$2200/month over the course of a decade. If trends continue, the average rent will be over $3500 for a 1 bedroom by the early 2030s. If you're not making over $150k as a single adult in 2024, you're not gonna 'make' it here in any meaningful way. Remember, a 1/4th of Canadians are already living in poverty according to recent statistics conducted by the Food Bank of Canada (presented as truth in parliament as of 20 June 2024), and that number is going to continue to grow in the next decade. The thing about poverty is it always seems like such a distant problem until it's not anymore. It sneaks up on a person.
>Most people think it's gonna get worse and the middle class will die outYep, everything they're saying is true. The middle class won't completely die out, but the quality of life for them will continue to decrease exponentially. I presume by the late 2030s, the difference between middle and lower class will be about housing and food. By that time, only the middle class will be able to afford rent (buying a home will be limited to the upper echelons of society and the rental corporations) and food everyday while the lower class will be stuck in government funded homeless shelters and will eat slop once every other day or so.
You're best bet is to work on an emigration plan right now and get out ASAP. I'm in the same boat as you where my mum is gonna be left behind when I emigrate. I really don't wanna leave because I really love my mum, but we've both talked it over (with a lot of tears) and although it's gonna really suck for a year or two, I'm still better off emigrating. With the job I have lined up overseas, after a year or two of work I'll have enough savings to be able to buy her her own place in the USA or Uruguay until I can afford to bring her over to where I'm going. The housing/economic crisis is not gonna get better no matter how many people are in denial about it. ATP it really is a race against the clock. When you leave Canada to emigrate RN, the government will tax you 25% on everything you own (e.g., real estate, jewellery, savings, artwork, etc.,) but I'm sure they'll raise the tax before 2027/2028 to make it even more unaffordable to leave. Likewise, as more Canadians begin to emigrate other countries will start creating quotas on the number of new Canadian immigrants accepted. As more and more Canadians leave and the economy continues to worsen in the coming years, our government will take steps to prevent citizens from leaving. My family has been in this country since the late 1600s, it really hurts me to leave the land that my family has worked and kept for nearly 4 centuries, but I know that if I stay here I'm cursing myself and my children to a life of poverty and suffering. I don't want that for myself or for my children. My ancestors came here because their homeland was decaying and corrupt: I want to follow in their bravery and leave my homeland because it is decaying and corrupt.
Again, your best bet is to work on an exit strategy right now. Leave while your father is still alive, save up enough overseas so that when your dad does die (hopefully not for a while!) you can take care of your mum in his absence. Start looking into other countries with high QOL and check out their immigration requirements + the professions that they need to fill through immigration. A popular one with the people around me right now is medical technicians, e.g. X-Ray techs, Ultrasound techs, etc., because it's usually a <2 year college course and a lot of other developed countries have a shortage of people in these fields. Usually you can find a list of these professions for each country on their government websites. This country really is a lost cause. It's best to just realize this now and start preparing to leave instead of holding on to this false sense of security that somehow someway things here will improve. They won't. QOL continues to degrade year after year. The economy continues to falter year after year. The government grows more and more bureaucratic and alienated from the public with each passing year. If you have any respect for yourself and love for your family, please start thinking about how you will leave. It will be hard but it will save you and your heirs from the shit storm that's brewing.

>>2056324I feel relatively lucky that my roommates, bf and I found an apartment right before everything went up. When I was employed I was around 57k and paying 1k a month. Our rent total is 4k at around 1100 sq/ft. Unfortunately I'm on ei since my industry is so scarce atm, so I'm probably closer to 24k a year now.
If I have any advice to anons is just live with your parents as long as you can. I've been on my own since I was a teenager and comparing how expensive everything is from 10 years ago to now genuinely feels like I'm being robbed in broad daylight. Its not just your rent you'll find difficult. It's food, utilities,and anything frugal. If you have no loans to pay off as well that's a plus, the only thing that puts me in the hole is my student loan. Also a big regret, don't choose private colleges lol
No. 2057160
>>2057150>comparing how expensive everything is from 10 years ago to now genuinely feels like I'm being robbedKek if this isn't the truth. I also moved out of my parents' place before I was 18, back in the mid 2010s. At the time I felt very confident that I could survive and thrive, and for a while I did. Had my own place, could afford 3 meals a day, kept the lights on for long periods of time, all the things that middle class life affords a person. Each year got harder and harder. Everything around me kept getting more expensive while my wages stagnated and my industry soured. I'm making less now as a mid-level employee in 2024 than I did in 2017 as an entry-level employee. Salaries got fucked so badly in the past 6-7 years. I was making $19 when I started in entry-level, but now that same position only pays minimum wage. The pandemic made everything a lot worse. By 2021 I could only afford to buy enough groceries each week to eat once a day, now in 2024 I rely on the local food bank for a lot of my food. I remember having to start conserving energy by 2022 because the hydro prices were too much, so in winter I have to wear a winter coat and snowpants when I go to sleep so I wouldn't get frostbite because I can't afford to keep my heat on overnight. I thought I did everything right: I went to uni, I got a good job, I pay back my debts, but it still isn't enough. I get so angry sometimes at the food bank because I see all the old women there that are starving to death and I can't imagine or grasp what could have done in life to deserve this fate. If I didn't rent my apartment when I did, I'd be homeless right now. It's so scary. I don't think people realize how close they are to destitution until it's too late.

>>2057209Sorry if my post scared you. I just didn't want to bullshit you. I wanted to reply to you because the bit about your mum really hit home for me. I'm not ashamed to say I've cried almost every night thinking about moving across the world and leaving my mum behind. At the end of the day though, I want to be able to provide my mum with a good standard of living in her old age in gratitude for everything she's done for me and out of love. If I stay here, that's just not possible. I know in my heart that if I stay here, my QOL will be shit and I'll never be able to give back to her like how I would like to. It's hard to leave, but I know that if I don't all the struggle and dedication my mum put in raising me will be wasted, all her sacrifices would have been in vain. I don't want that. I'm just very grateful we live in the age of information, where video calling is so easy now. The world gets smaller and smaller. Even so, it's difficult for me to think about separation because family is important to me.
As a side note, if anyone is curious looking for prices and costs between different cities, I use this website: (
https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/comparison.jsp ). It's a great little calculator and it's been accurate so far for when I've used it. Picrel is an example of what I mean when I say Canada isn't worth shit. Tokyo is the biggest city in the world but it's infinitely cheaper than bummy ass Toronto. I used it to find cheap cities to look into when I emigrate later this year and I'm happy with the tool so I wanted to share with others.

>>2057224>Is there anywhere else in Canada worth migrating to?At this point in time, no. Everywhere in Canada will be affected by the same problems: lackluster wages, high taxes, faltering medical system, lack of housing, high unemployment rates, etc.. These sorts of issues spread slowly at first and then at all once. An example is Halifax: a few years ago when the housing crisis was ramping up (especially in Ontario and BC), a lot of people started looking at Halifax as an example of a nice-ish city that still had affordable housing stock, so they all started moving in and now in 2024 Halifax has an insanely expensive housing market, not enough jobs, and not enough doctors. Basically, migration between different cities in Canada is pointless because the same issues you wanna escape from one city are either just as present in a different city, or if they aren't yet they soon will be.
The issues our country faces are multi-faceted, of course, but the housing crisis is probably the most pertinent. To give more global context, Ontario accepted about 200k immigrants in 2023, and there were around 140k births. in that same year across the province only 70 thousand residences completed construction across 17 of the largest municipalities (my source is:
https://www03.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/hmip-pimh/en#TableMapChart/35/2/Ontario ). It's a similar story with all the other provinces. When you factor in the birth rate, internal migration, and external immigration, it becomes very obvious that the private sector construction companies and the provincial governments can't handle the influx of people and they're struggling to build enough residences to house a growing population. Since housing will continue to exponentially grow in demand and outpace the supply, the prices will continue to grow and grow without wavering. Without context, these numbers might not seem bad, but if we look at the stats for a place with a similar population it becomes clearer how bad the problem is. In Dallas, a single city in Texas, USA, has completed construction on over 60 thousand new residences in 2023. One city in the USA built just about as many residences than all 17 of the largest municipalities of Ontario did in that same time. That's why housing is more affordable in places like the USA, because their economy is much stronger and their private sector can adequately respond to the demands of the population.
Another issue is the economy. I'll just start by saying whatever profession you may have here in Canada, you'd be getting paid 10-20% more in the USA and be paying a lot less taxes on that money too. Just for this example, I'll use a grocery store produce manager and take information from popular job posting websites: In Niagara Falls, ON, the average produce manager earns about CA$23 an hour. In Niagara Falls, NY, (just across the river) that same profession has an average wage of CA$26.50. Besides the CA$3.50 difference, the manager in ON will be paying CA$0.13 on every dollar towards sales tax while the manager in NY will only pay CA$0.10 on every dollar. At every level, working in the USA will be more beneficial for your wallet. This is the case with almost any job: more money, less tax, more purchasing power. Obviously food in Canada is another big issue right now because of the unhinged raw power that corporate monopolies hold on our country. If you wanna look at how the cost of food compares, just go on the Canadian Walmart site and create an online basket of your weekly grocery list, then go onto the American Walmart site and put the same items in your basket. From my experience, by the end the American basket will usually be about 10-15% cheaper than the Canadian basket. And that's just considering the USA; in other countries you can be making even more money, paying even less tax, afford even more food, all while doing the same job with the same qualifications. In my profession, where I live in Canada now I'd be making less than CA$40k a year after tax working 40 hours a week with no dental or vision benefits, the job I have lined up overseas will be paying me CA$90k after tax working 30 hours a week and with benefits. Same qualifications, same experience, same skills, same me, but a CA$50k increase in pay and with less hours spent working besides.
>I’m not sure where I’d move toAs an exercise, create a list from 1 to 10 of things that you would really dislike in the place you'd want to live. 1 being the thing you would dislike the greatest and 10 being the thing that you'd dislike the least. Think about things like population, public transportation, job opportunities, culture, weather, etc.. Now that you have your dislike list, the like list will be easy to create because it's just an inverse of the first list. Start researching places you'd like to live, and see how they relate to your two lists. You're never gonna find a place that has everything that you'd like to have, but at least you can find a place that doesn't have everything you'd dislike to have. I found this exercise to be helpful for me narrowing down where I'd like to move. After you have a few places that you're interested in, start comparing them by job markets, taxes, rental prices, crime, etc. (you can usually find this info on government stats websites) and your options will become even more narrow.
>>2057275I'm happy that you found my posts informative and detailed. I know that it's very difficult to think about leaving your family behind, but remember that this is
your life and you have to try and make the best decisions for
yourself. Your mum and dad want you to succeed in life and want you to do well for yourself. I think it should be the goal of every parent to want their children to do better than they did. Personally speaking, it's my goal to finally buy my mum a house somewhere that she can enjoy her retirement without having to worry about all the problems this country is facing. The only way I can do this is by spending some years abroad working, and by the time I'm done with it I doubt I'll be coming back to Canada.

>>2053469Thank you for taking the time to explain it so well
nonnie. There's so much I learned about your post!
I'm an immigrant myself (not from India) and I was surprised to see so many comments about Indians when I got here a couple of years ago. I thought I was going to have it hard because it seemed like Canadians were openly racist. However, time has passed and I have many Canadian friends and most of them say they don't have issues with immigrants except Indians/Punjabs for that same issue. Even the ones who are 2nd gen Indo-Canadians. At first, I thought my Canadian friends saying "Not all immigrants" was because they didn't want to be seen as racists or didn't want to hurt my feelings but then I noticed some of them legit are okay with controlled immigration and having a more diverse pool of immigrants.
I've been studying in college for a while and I even though my class is half Canadian (I guess because it's a "legit" program, not those business management ones), half immigrants, 3 out of the 5 Indian students just came to the first class and barely attended to plead for extensions to not get kicked out of the program. Also, they only socialized with other Indians while the ones who went to class wanted to integrate, instead of just hanging out with other Indians which I have heard that's also very common.
Heck, there's even a PCPP college nearby where I live that is, no joke, 90% Indians and people refer to it as a "diploma mill" or something.
It's kind of sad for the people who want to actually immigrate here for a better future and integrate to the workforce instead of trying to find loopholes and cheat to get PR.
My experience has been great here so far and I really wish to settle here as I have a promising future in my field of work, mostly because the industry where I work looks for very specific profiles and isn't really that affected by immigration, and seeing this is honestly discouraging.

>>2057497>FHSAHonestly your best bet is to just put your money into a TFSA and invest into stock. The FHSA has a limit of $40k. The average home costs $700k, so even that $40k you could save in the FHSA isn't enough for a 10% down payment on an average home. I do have a few friends that use the FHSA to save more money once they exceed their yearly TFSA contribution, even though they don't plan to buy a house with the money. The problem is, if you don't buy a house in a certain time after maxing out the FHSA I'm pretty sure all the money you put in is taxed upon withdrawal. The other problem is, all the houses here are kind of crap. CA$400k can get you a beautiful detached 4 bedroom home in some regions of the USA for example, whereas here I've seen one half of a 2-bedroom duplex with 900sq ft on a busy road selling for 1.1-1.2 million CAD. Your money will take you a lot farther in other places than it will here and afford you a much better quality of life as well.
>>2057430Look into the "Century Initiative" lobby group that has bought out every federal political party. Their goal is to have a population of 100 million people by 2100. Things won't change, they'll only keep getting worse and worse. Even in the past 10 years, the QOL here has noticeably declined. A very small number of immigrants return back home, the vast majority stay and bring 3-4 extended family members (usually elderly people with health conditions) after they get their PR or citizenship.
>I'd like to think things might not get that bad.I also felt this way for a long time but at a certain point it becomes important to trade in your rose-coloured glasses for a wide-lens. For context, of the dozen people I still talk to from my university days 5 of them have already left the country and another 4 are working on leaving. Even my family doctor is planning on leaving soon. It seems like everyone I talk to (from the perspective of a worldly university-educated professional) knows shit is going to hit the fan by the late 2020s or early 2030s and they're trying to find a way out before then.
>>2057536The process might be a bit complicated; if you ever find yourself struggling to understand something about it, don't hesitate to talk to an immigration lawyer. They can be a bit expensive (I had to pay mine $350 per hour for consultations and discussions), but they're worth it in the end because they have a lot more experience and knowledge on the subject. To try and answer your questions succinctly though, look at picrel.
>What would you suggest a strategy be to find work overseas and leave Canada?Spend time researching the place you want to emigrate to. In the case of the USA, it's a really big country with lots of different climates and job opportunities and wages and taxes, so it's important to research places you could move to. After deciding where you want to go, look up professions that that country needs. Usually you can find this through government websites under a title like "skilled occupation list," or "specialty occupation list." If you plan to emigrate to a country, if your profession or field of work is on that list it'll be much easier for you to obtain a work-visa and eventually PR status. Start saving money now, as much as you can. I've been saving ~CA$1000 per month for about 2 years to fund my exit. Since our economy continues to worsen and the value of our dollar continues to decrease, I've personally started converting 1/3rd of my savings into USD, because the USD remains strong and the value of my savings will be protected even as the CAD declines.
>Do you apply for a work visa there and hope to get hired by a local company?How it worked for me is that I started talking to job recruiters from the country I'm going to, once I talked to them and they helped me find a good job I applied for it from Canada and they accepted my application, so now I'm in the process of getting my work visa issued to me and straightening out my affairs before I leave. In most cases how it works is that you apply for a job from Canada, once a company accepts your application they'll help you file for a visa (or offer sponsership). You won't be able to get a work-visa without a job offer. One of my friends left for Australia in late 2023 to work for an Australian management company, by March 2024 the company she works for offered to sponsor her for PR. Now she lives 10 minutes from the beach in a place where it's always warm and sunny and she makes twice the salary she was making in Canada doing the same exact job.
>Do you work for a Canadian company with overseas ties (like US) and hope they'll relocate you to their office?Don't bother with this route. Canadian companies are jokes in the international job market. They'll offer you shit pay even in your the other country, and they

>I'd like to move to the USA because the industry for my field just has so much more opportunitiesSince we're Canadians, it's easier for us to live and work in the USA thanks to the USMCA agreement (the thing that replaced NAFTA). Part of this agreement is that you're eligible to apply for a TN visa, a type of visa that will allow you to work and reside in the USA for up to 3 years at a time (it's also possible to renew it while you're there for an indefinite time) and grants the holder an expedited process to become a US citizen. The TN visa is limited to certain professions, you can find that list here: (
https://canadiansinusa.com/work-visas/tn/ ). If your current profession is on the list, great, you can start applying for those jobs today. If not, you could benefit from using the education system here to begin studying for new credentials. A popular option I've seen is going to college to become a registered nurses, since some nursing courses take only 1.5 years to complete here, and once you complete it and you get registered you can immediately start applying for nursing jobs in the USA and try for a TN visa. There are other paths to work-visas in the USA too, of course, but the TN visa is probably the best option if you already work as one of those skilled occupations. If you can't get a TN visa and you don't wanna go back to school, look into the H-1B visa.
>The other thing I can do in my case is to go to graduate school in the USAvoid this. Even though Canada has a lot of issues, the cost of tertiary education for citizens isn't one of them (surprisingly). Graduate programs are a lot cheaper here than in the USA, and student visas are more difficult to navigate in the USA as well. Your best bet is to try and complete all pertinent education in this country, and then get out.
It really is a lot of work to research emigration, visas, places to live, etc., and all that comes along with it. I've spent hundreds of hours researching and planning and at this point I have a special diary that I write all my notes in. Even though it's a lot of work, it's very possible to emigrate, no matter what some naysayers may think. It takes time, dedication, research, and some cash, but in the end it's always worth it to leave.

I was born and raised in Ottawa (early 90s) and it seemed like a paradise then compared to now
I used to bike all over the city when I was a teenager, though even back then things were starting to become less safe with the "safe injection sites" and refugee housing being placed near residential neighborhoods
I remember we had a bunch of Somali families placed in low income housing a couple blocks away from my neighborhood, and then within a month my bike was stolen off my front lawn
We used to just leave our bikes on the front lawn or park them beside the door overnight, that's how safe neighborhoods like Nepean were in the 90s and 2000s

It's really sad. Working in a dispensary is actually the reason I quit weed, it was just so depressing seeing people come in every day buying the same shit over and over, scrapping for dimes and in tears when they couldn't get their fix for the day. I sold so much weed to people on their lunch breaks before they went back to working their dangerous jobs, and I remember thinking like "This can't be normal or good," like I knew people smoked weed before legalization but I don't think it was THAT present or all-encompassing as it is now.

The economy is better, so if you want to go based solely on that then fair enough and hopefully it works out great for you, that's a solid reason on its own. But if any of you want to escape Canada because you fear things are going to pop off really badly socially, you may want to consider that the states is on more of a hair
trigger in that regard. There's tension with all the newcomers specifically in Canada, obviously, but it's not the same as the outright worsening hatred for each other that I observe in people in the US, which stems from a variety of issues.

If you want to appeal this case, good luck."I tried appealing the case and even sent my pay stubs, bank statements, etc., to show them I didn't abandon my job, but there was no use. It's crazy that the system exists to help people that get fired or let go, but then they trust the old managers that fired or let them go to tell the truth. I ended up having to go on Welfare instead, so the money I put into EI for 2 years never helped me and instead I had to get the tax-payer to bail me out.

I'm surprised more anons aren't posting about the recent Jasper fires. I feel really bad for the people that live there, and even though I've never been it seems like a really beautiful place to visit. The last two years have been really crazy for forest fires in the Western provinces, I wish that their governments would dedicate more of their annual budget towards firefighting services. I think as the climate continues to change it's gonna keep getting worse and worse, so it's better if we start preparing for the worst ASAP to mitigate the most damage.
I read once that in Australia, where wildfires are a problem, that the government invited indigenous peoples to start practising their traditional controlled burning practises to help control larger uncontainable blazes. It ended up working well IIRC, and it makes me wonder if the indigenous peoples in that area of Canada have a similar practise that could help with our wildfires.

I've always wanted to travel there, it seems like such a nice place to stay for a convalescence. I wonder what it's like to live on those islands, it must be such a small-town atmosphere and so limiting. The natural scenery is gorgeous, and apparently it's a hot-spot for marine life in Atlantic Canada. I heard they fish and serve really good lobster too. I've been all over the Maritimes, but I've never been to the Magdalen Islands and it's something I'd like to do before shit hits the fan here.

his is more of a vent, but I'm so sick of everything being geared towards recent immigrants.
Like I'm sorry, but why do "newcomers" get special treatment constantly everywhere? I've been trying to find a job for 3 months, and I go on Indeed and I see this at the top and I feel so jaded. Maybe I'd be able to find a job if the government didn't let in >2 million people over the past 3 years while refusing to build the economy or create new jobs or build new housing units. It's seriously so frustrating because nowhere else in the world is catering to immigrants as hard as this country. And for what??? Banks give them special promotions, credit companies give them special prices and ratings, jobs give them unique offers, universities and colleges look the other way when they cheat, etc etc etc. Meanwhile people that are born here get jack shit. The job market is so oversaturated at this point that I can't even find a job in my field, and there's no sense in applying for retail because 9/10 the employer will find an illegal immigrant to work the job for pennies instead of hiring a legal candidate. I'm so sick of it. All I want is a job and an apartment, I want to work for my society and to improve it with my labour, but there is nowhere for me to go.

>>2179020The Irving family, perhaps not de jure but de facto, owns New Brunswick. They fund the tertiary educational facilities, they own the majority of the provincial media producers, they own virtually all engineering and construction firms in the province, etc., etc.. The Irvings have dominated New Brunswick since the late 1800s, and in the 21st century the province is little more than their personal fiefdom. It's been nearly 150 years, and the family still insists on keeping the company private because of the immense benefits it reaps for them. The premier of New Brunswick, in fact the entire political framework of the province, is just another facet of the Irving company. That's why they were allowed to pour waste into the river in the 1950s, it's why they were given tax breaks in the 1970s that still remain to this day, it's why they can poison the people without consequence, etc., etc.. It's a very sad state of affairs for the people of New Brunswick; to be so politically and economically helpless.
With that being said, I believe in the veracity of the doctor and the people that have noticed the disease. I doubt the integrity of the Irving family; the Irving company; and, the provincial parliament and governing bodies. The brain disease has been developing since at least the mid 00s, it was only recognized by officials and experts as a cause for concern in the mid 10s, and the information leaked to the public in the late 10s (iirc). I do fear that this disease will be used by lazy and incompetent doctors as a sort of "catch-all" diagnosis, since it's easy to hate on the Irvings and it's hard to provide good quality medical care.
>>2167548The conservatives and the liberals are two sides of the same coin. Both parties have virtually the same stances on immigration, the one real issue that the country faces, and both parties support the Century Initiative. If Pollievre and the Conservatives win, the GDP will continue to be artificially propped up by the housing market. No party wants to admit that we are facing a looming catastrophe vis-à-vis the quality of life and the cost of living that will commence when the great die-off begins in the next 10-15 years. They don't want to admit it because every party is composed of very wealthy individuals that have a lot to gain from the immigration crisis, the real estate crisis, and the labour crisis. It's sort of like how when COVID-19 was happening, the government refused to ground the planes and halt international flights because 70% of senators had large holdings in Air Canada, and they knew that it would harm their personal finances. It doesn't matter who makes the government, whether they be liberal or conservative, majority or minority, etc., because the hidden figures that pull the strings from behind never change; they're always the same and they're always in charge. This country is a sham that only stands for capital.
The thing that is so striking about Pollievre is that he exudes the same inane smugness that Trudeau emanates. These dunces are both so far removed from the average Canadian that it almost makes me wince.

>>2214166Nona you HAVE to vote!!!!! Every election is important! In our country of FREEDOM we all need to make sure our voices our heard. Thank God we live in a DEMOCRACY where we have all sorts of different parties and leaders to vote for! Here, if you aren't political I'll describe the big three political parties for you. They're all pretty different so it's hard to keep track of which one is which, but they're all so distinct it's important to remember who is who!
>Conservative PartyThis party is run by a moid named Pierre and he is retarded and he gets paid by big corporations to screw you and your country over.
>Liberal PartyThis party is run by a moid named Justin and he is retarded and he gets paid by big corporations to screw you and your country over.
>New Democratic PartyThis party is run by a moid named Jagmeet and he is retarded and he gets paid by big corporations to screw you and your country over.
See! With all these parties and leaders, you can tell we live in a healthy democratic developed nation! Even though all the political parties share the same basic stances on the issues that face the country (e.g., all three parties subscribe to the Century Initiative and want to speed up the rate of immigration), and all of them are run by the same businesses and corporate sponsors, and all of them want to destroy the country, and all of them hate the citizens, and all of them are working against your interests: remember that your vote matters!

>>2215069I'm already planning to move to a dictatorship actually. I just think it's more honest than what we have here. At least in dictatorships we don't have to pretend otherwise and prop up a farce.
No. 2217163
>>2215069>Go move to a country where everything is decided for you without your inputNot to be this anon but you realize that the way the Canadian government is set up, that the real power is vested in the senate. Citizens have no say in the selection of senators, they aren't voted for, and it's not democratic. Even beyond the senate, we are literally ruled by a foreign monarch who is represented by the governor-general. If the elected parliament decides to pass a law, it can always be modified or shut down by the non-elected senate. Even if the law passes through the senate, it still must be approved or disapproved by King Charles III.
>Inb4 "reee it's all just empty pomp and ceremony the senate and King doesn't have real power ree!!" Okay but that's not really the point. The point is that even if everyone votes in this country, there is still a chance that any law put forth by the elected persons & parliaments can still be rejected by non-democratic elements that exist in the framework of our government. Some people say that the non-elected senate only acts as a "sober second thought" for laws passed, but why do we
need to hear the second thoughts of random people that nobody elected? On top of that, why do we need everything to be rubber-stamped by another non-elected official that represents some foreigner? I don't think Canada can be considered a full democracy as it is now.

None of that is true , she’s as straight as a ruler kek, but the government has provided her with a house and weekly/monthly money, her daughter has started school too. She’s pretty much settled once she gets her documentation.

I like browsing my city's subreddit every so often and I came across a post in r/canada talking about immigration and what an issue it is were just importing a shit load of Indians . Surprisingly the post isn't downvoted to oblivion and everyone seems to agree. It's more comforting that more and more Canadians feel the same way about it. I'm fucking tired of seeing so many of them. The men make me so uncomfortable because they hang out in big groups and stare at you. I'm also tired of them fucking up my coffee orders kek. I'm fucking lactose stop giving me milk

>>2219044Kek really? This woman came with a ticket that she bought. She’s not poor.
She didn’t want to come back and instead opted to pretend to be a refugee because she met an African who told her that it would work. She faked being a lesbian , she told them that she was being abused and escaping kek and they provided her housing.
It’s possible because by the time she’s applying to obtain documents the government has already provided her tons of money and even if she doesn’t get accepted she can try again.

Gee. I wonder why aunty #100. It's not like most Indian scrotes that come here and even born here grew up with little prince syndrome and think that white girls are easy and basically hate any desi girl that doesn't fit what they think a girl/woman should be. Do they not follow all of the rape cases in India? Literally immigrating scrotes from a place where rape culture is so hardcore.
Indian guys in clubs are also really fucking creepy.

remembrance/veterans day is nothing more than a way for the poppy cultists to glorify the needless horrors of war orchestrated by judeofreemasonic moids for profit and power, carried out by common moids on behalf of their moid masters. The same "HEros" being sickeningly worshiped probably raped, stole, and did who knows what else to innocent civilians.
The remembrance day ceremonies are eerily similar to cult rituals, with symbols, programmed behavior, emotion based thinking, and "us vs them" "youre not allowed to question this" mentality.
Its a way for modern day average moids to virtue signal to everyone that theyre a Good Person/Nice Guy™, by wearing their poppies right after Halloween or even earlier, to force everyone to remember HIS-Story. Youre not allowed to forget the propaganda, is the message.
If the wars somehow only negatively affected women, for example if there were only women who died, the same moids wearing poppies now would go out of their way to disrespect remembrance day.
"If my sons did not want wars, there would be none." — Gutle Schnaper, wife of Mayer Amschel Rothschild and mother of his five sons.
On the bright side, less and less people are wearing poppies and perpetuating the ridiculous veteran moid worship.(schizopost)

If you needed another reason to GTFO before it's too late:
https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2024/11/more-money-in-your-pocket-a-tax-break-for-all-canadians.htmlThe Trudeau government has announced a tax break for a two month period beginning next month. I can't think of a lazier way to virtue-signal than this. There's something so insidious knowing that the majority of Canadians are in such bad financial situations that the government feels the need to bail them out for the Christmas season. I just had to laugh when I read:
>"The government can’t set prices at the checkout"You retards. The government CAN do that. It's the fucking government. It can do anything. God, I hate politicians. They'd rather give us a bogus tax break than just break up the monopolies 3 companies have on groceries in this country.
The majority of items on this list for the tax break are children's Christmas gifts, things like toys, jigsaw puzzles, children's clothes, etc.. Even Christmas trees will be tax-exempt. It's just so sad to me. I think a lot of families will give up gift-giving for Christmas soon. Maybe this will be the last proper Christmas for a lot of kids. This country is such a dumpster fire.

Why the hell do I hear so much Spanish being spoken now? I was walking in downtown and I hear this couple speaking Spanish. Then 5 minutes later I entered the mall and I hear this group of people speaking Spanish. Then I rode the metro and there was a family there with their young kids speaking Spanish. What the hell is happening?? 10 years ago I would not hear a lick of Spanish being spoken at all on the streets. WHERE THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE COMING FROM.
