Your youtube algorithm must be hideous. how often you been to Toronto? 49% of the Toronto metropolitan area's population was born outside of Canada. Mississauga's population is falling. Mississauga is a city filled with economic immigrants. When the economy goes bad... they leave. so umm , ya. of the other 51% ... its pretty much guaranteed that a substantial % in that 51% have options outside Canada. You'd know this if you spent any time in the Greater Toronto Area. So, I'd say it is an accurate post. It is not a bad faith post. Toronto is declining fast. Toronto's child poverty rate jumped from 16.8 per cent to 25.3 per cent between 2020 and 2022. I can't blame any one for wanting out of Toronto. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/1-in-10-torontonians-now-using-food-bank-amid-skyrocketing-costs-stagnate-wages-report-1.6644180 | ||

But you aren't here for understanding, you are here to score points. Which is why all your posts are disingenuous. Which is why you are not well received. I wonder what it is you actually get out of this. Maybe you would be better off spending your time elsewhere. | ||

I wonder what it is you actually get out of this. Maybe you would be better off spending your time elsewhere. is this a personal attack or a discussion about politics, leadership and politicians? i provided the human story. Ontario's leadership is not as smart as it was decades ago. People like Bob Rae, Mike Harris, Mel Lastman and Hazel Mccallion are far smarter than Doug Ford, Olivia Chow and Carolyn Parrish.

If you want to add context to the skyrocketing child poverty rates in Toronto.. go for it. | ||

That is all gone now. Ontario was the economic engine of Canada. Ontario routinely took jobs away from every US state it bordered. That is no longer the case. Now the jobs are leaving Ontario. So relative to the developed world including Australia and the UK... Canada is getting crushed. https://financialpost.com/news/canada-standard-of-living-falling-behind On December 18 2024 16:37 iPlaY.NettleS wrote:Surprising that Trudeau has been in almost 10 years, we've had 4 in that time and will be 5 next year. Trudeau is a big reason I left. He has been really bad. Additionally, I do not see any leaders within Canada's major parties who can pull off the kinds of stuff Pierre Elliot Trudeau and Jean Chretien pulled off... in decades past. Those guys were geniuses. Singh , Poliveire, and Trudeau are not nearly as smart as leaders like Broadbent, Clark, Mulroney, Chretien etc etc. So I do not see a path where Canada can be great again. | ||

Rigged! Rigged he would cry and then try and overthrow another election. This cracked me up, if it is one big state he loses all the electoral college votes, and if it is 5 he wins maybe 1 sometimes. Hell Doug Ford is buddies with Walz. As for the rest, I think if you are a fairly wealthy single guy the US looks appealing. Lower taxes and chance at higher wages. Then if you are a woman, not so much. And if you are thinking of having kids not so much, maybe if you are private school kind of wealthy, but the whole school shooting thing is pretty scary, you have the expense of pregnancy's and super shitty maternity. If you are not healthy it is basically a no go. I know 0 people looking to move to the US. For JT, I think this was the final nail. My big question is where the Liberal votes go, Conservative or NDP. I would not at all be shocked by a Conservative gov with a NDP official opposition. | ||
