People leaving Canada

[Catri]

I know a businessperson who moved to Canada because of our superior progressive government policies.

Was he a pot dealer, or pharma drug pusher? Then I can understand.

JT has never promoted anything (much less democracy) other than himself, and lately openly turned into a dictator.

He's definitely not a democracy loving politician like Vladimir Putin.

who is leaving?

I am, but we're just escaping winters.
I'll leave my "wealth" in a bank here.

I have no doubt that many fringe is leaving. And probably going to blue states. And I say good riddance. It works out for Canada too. We don't have to deal with someone occupying for 3 weeks and saying they didn't do anything wrong. EA was used as a last resort. As such it was used effectively to end the squatting. End of story.

Time will tell if Turdeau was right or wrong... and I honestly don't think this is the end of the story.

For weeks, indigenous Canadians blocked passenger and freight trains. They made it impossible to travel by rail from Montreal to Toronto. They disrupted the movement of grain, construction materials and propane gas in Western Canada. More than 1,000 rail employees were laid off. Food rotted.

Odd that we didn't need the EA for that protest... Or many others that have turned violent...

Pathetic people defend the use of the EA, they eat up government garbage.

A prolific contributor to YouTube, but not much info by way of a resume. There is some money to be made through advertising revenue and subscription fees, one has to consider the motivation behind people who make these videos. Look for yourself by all means, he has a variety of topics. Like many he's latched on to the Freedom Convoy for his topic of choice for the past month, but Clyde doesn't strike me as an "expert" of any sort, and his videos don't reveal much depth or insight, just someone looking to get content out on the net. Clicks and views = revenue in this game.

Sure there are people leaving Canada, it happens all the time, just like there are people coming to Canada from all over the world looking for what we have to offer. I have a brother who relocated to the Philippines when he retired a few years back, mainly because the lower cost of living there allowed him a better lifestyle than his retirement income would allow in Canada. We also see investment money heading towards countries where the regulatory climate is more relaxed, allowing them to increase their bottom line. Business is business. There is no shortage of examples of businesses leaving for less than ethical reasons, chief among them would be the sort of businesses that tend to leave and environmental mess in their wake or those looking for cheap labour. You don't need a PhD in economics to see where the exodus of manufacturing jobs has left many Canadians. I don't see a realistic solution to this, in fact I have a hard time looking at it as a problem at all. People come, people go.

When someone talks about "leaving" a place it just seems so knee-jerk as to be stupid ... "go" somewhere that you feel is better, do something intentional ... don't just react (though "reaction" seems to be our specialty around here) ...

Throwing a fit and "leaving" always reminds me of those scenes in the movies where someone has to leave and they end up in the closet but won't come out because they feel foolish for not knowing where they're going ...

If people believe the grass is greener some other place on this planet, be all means go... bon voyage.

Exactly. No body is forcing anyone to stay, or leave. The inference that the use of the Emergencies Act to freeze the bank accounts of some has actually caused people to pack up and leave Canada is a joke. For one, where would they go, and what makes that place so attractive ?

It goes far beyond the illegal use of an act of parliament .. Soaring taxes , mandates , owning a small business and providing jobs only to be called a tax cheat .. Stupid energy policies that increase costs , drive away MORE jobs only to support despots and human rights abusers and do more harm than good for the environment ..

face it , Canada is a joke ..

Those who are leaving are the ones that can afford to and they have many choices .

We all have to ask ourselves just who is at fault for the conditions we currently face. Surprisingly enough, "government" is nothing more than an accomplice to the real criminals, the corporate and financial sectors. The government policy that paved the way for corporate control of so many aspects of our lives was put in place decades ago by the likes of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Brian Mulroney.
