Canadian Testimony, Socialist nightmare
A friend posted in another forum and said we could share this. I found it interesting.

"Canada has become a socialist nightmare. Our healthcare system is horrible and falling apart fast. It just doesn't work because we have run out of money to fund it properly. Schools system is broken which is why we have to home school our kids. Again our schools are out of money. Our green energy program has been a disaster in that we have fields of broken windmills that cost more to fix then they could ever produce electricity. It cost $0.88 a kw to produce electricity that sells for $.05 to sell. We are loosing $0.83 per kw to produce green energy. The cost of living is out of hand. The cost of food, clothing etc is outrageously high. There are lots people here who pay over $75,000 per year just to rent a place to live. 30-40 k per year is an average for a small apartment anywhere in Canada now. Many seniors can't afford to retire because of the costs of living. I know one man who is in his 90's who still has to work to survive. Taxes are outrageously high - way more than Americans pay. There are no jobs. I know people with Masters Degrees who are clerks at the local Walmart and Home depot because that is the best they can find. The Province of Ontario with a population of 13 million is the most indebted sub national state/province/territory etc in the world ( States like California and New York have smaller debt!) In fact it owes more than a number of countries. The Canadian Government has borrowed and spent so much it has been recently told that they cannot borrow anymore without dire economic consequences.... If anyone tells you liberal socialism works, don't believe them. Canada is in a horrible mess with no easy way out."

Yep. Consume consume consume. That’s the new Canadian way.
Canada is deteriorating much faster compared to 20 years ago.

Re: Canadian Testimony, Socialist nightmare
It’s a very depressing place to live that’s for sure. Next to impossible to get ahead when everything is taxed so heavily. Health care is joke, particularly during this so called “pandemic”. I’m terrified to send my kids back to school under emergency orders which basically means they can do whatever they want with no accountability. All I want to do is pack up my family and move to another country but frankly I don’t know where is better.

I live in central Canada where all the dead windmills are, and the op is totally correct!!

We're even selling hydroelectricity to the USA for ~7 cents/kwh while selling it to Canadians for 10+ cents/kwh.

Every societal institution is broken. None of them actually serve their proclaimed intended purpose. It is full societal collapse.

West Coast Canada.. health system has been perfectly awesome for me over several decades, low wait times, immediate care for emergencies, and so on. The only thing that bugs ke is that dental is not part of it, as if oral hygine wasnt very important too

You must be in either bumfucknidaho bc or you're lying.shithole bachelor's are renting for close to 2000 100 kms from major urban areas. I know places where people are paying 9000 a month to rent a substandard house, in a kind of crappy town,namely meaford.Just because it is on Georgian bay. There is a real estate nightmare in Canada due to all the reits,lax foreign investment regulations on owning property and chinese money. Dont believe me, look at commie style condos popping up everywhere.Pure 1950s moscow type housing.

Get rid of most of the immigrants, stop promoting homosexuality, stop promoting race mixing, and take Those Who Shall Not Be Named out of the media and positions of power. There, I just solved all of your problems, tards. Do all of that and I'm sure Canada will go back to normal. It's not ''socialism'', tards. Time to start getting serious and call a spade a spade.

What’s the immigration process like? Have you investigated it much? We have *some* money, enough I assume to start over in another country. It’s something I think about a lot. We have three, soon to be four kids and if I knew where to go I would pack us up. But it’s hard bc it feels like all it takes is a few bad governments and everything starts sliding down hill.

Re: Canadian Testimony, Socialist nightmare
Although the present government in Canada is being marginally led by the Liberals under Justin Trudeau, Canada's past and its present economic status was largely affected by past right wing Conservative governments led by the likes of Brian Mulroney ( he with the %50,000 in a brown manila envelope) and Stephen Harper. So calling Canada a socialist nightmare can be equally blamed on both the left wing Liberals and the right wing Conservatives. The numbers cited in the OP -ed are way out of whack. And if they are right for a few cases they are obviously the result of money gouging profiteers, the total opposite of socialist welfare.

The fact is there is no where to escape to. The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence. Where-ever you are stay put and hunker down and make the best of the horrible circumstances you find yourself in. The nightmare is just beginning. Now is not the time to plan a move.

That is sad considering 40 or 50 years ago someone from poland would be coming here.. Our country is super fucked. The land is beautiful, untapped resources all around but the government stifles industry and private development beyond normal.. Liberals have fucked this country into the ground..

The problem is our conservative government is too liberal..
Harper gave us back some gun rights to restricted firearms like handguns which was nice. I don't fully blame them for the economy. I honestly think the queen of England has told the Canadian government (no matter who is in power) not to let industry ruin the pristine country. Like they were told 90% of the land couldn't be mined or tapped for resources.
We should be living like Kuwaities where everyone gets a paycheck every year because the country is so oil rich.. We're not only oil rich but every other god damn resource rich too.. They have mountains of untapped rare earth metals they won't even explore.. This country is so fucked and they are letting in immigrants from the middle east by the millions

Rent is high everywhere. You can see online classified ads. Everytime they bump the minimum wage the rent and utilities go up the same next month.
Health care sucks everywhere too. Too many workers believe the tv and think they are God's among us and should get all benefits and sit at a desk where their only task is to tell everyone else,"that's not my job".
