Canada is consistently voted 1st or 2nd best country in the world internationally.
Perhaps those who say it's a shithole are unhappy with their own lives.
Or maybe because they belong to a shithole party that's gone through 7 leaders and lost 3 elections in the last 8 years.
haha, have you ever looked at who's doing the rankings? Looked, really looked at what they're measuring?
ONE OF THE IDIOT RANKINGS SAID VAN WAS THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE, HAHA, GUESS THEY DIDN'T LOOK AT WHAT % IT TAKES TO OWN A HOME OR EVEN RENT, LOL
just like the polls that ask simple manipulated questions to get the answers they are looking for, it's measuring bullshit
go look at Canada's productivity rate for the last 30 years, go look at our house prices since your, (I'm assuming your preference isn't the Cons), prefered party has been in for those 8 years, they've doubled
look at the taxes, how they've increased, for no real gain or haven't you watched the news or picked up a paper in the last 8 years?
OR DO YOU NOT BELIEVE THE CONSTANT REPORTS THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON IS $200 AWAY FROM BANCRUPTCY? OR HOMELESSNESS, SORRY UNHOUSED
been to a downtown in any municipality, tried to access healthcare in that time, gone to a dentist for a simple reason, left 400-1500 poorer?
been to a grocery store, filled up a vehicle, looked at your gas bill, electric bill?
tried to get a passport, go on a holiday by plane, car even?
it might not be a shithole yet, but it's getting there
and for all those who think the CPP is so great (if you're at the top allowed, you'd be paying 5000, employer same, that's 10,000, which you have no real control over, year after year, no ability to have a say in % paid to the CPP's employ wages/benefits, by moving your money to a firm that charges less fees/better returns or do you think they're the best out there?)
a 64 year old, no wife, no kids, dies, totally screwed, all the money they put in is stolen by the scheme
yet what is supposed to be a PENSION plan gives money to kids who parents die, otherwise called INSURANCE, which you can buy yourself
also gives out DISABILITY, which again, you can buy yourself
just like with EI, which is a scam/tax for the vast majority, which the surplus is usually stolen by the gov't of the day, Chretien did it, Harper did it
they all do, Trudeau just keeps making up more ways to blow it, pretty soon you'll be able to take time off for a pet's death
or when you adopt one
so tents on the sidewalks, food bank use all over
yeah, we're NUMBER 1 alright
for now, go look at the predictions on our growth, economically for the next 20 years, last
go look at our income, real income growth compared to the hillbillies in the U.S., we're in the negatives
all we've gotten in the last 8 years is
FUKING POORER, EVERYONE, DOUBLED DEBT
IT'S BASIC MATH, IF YOU REALLY LOOK AT THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER
NOT THE ONE'S SPOON FED TO YOU BY SOME RANKING LOOKING FOR LIKES
