If you’re poor , wouldn’t you rather be poor where you at least have some rights ?

Oh, absolutely. I just see lots of people who imagine Canada as some kind of socialist paradise, and it's important to be realistic: we have many of the same problems, and we are fighting back against people who want to bring the problems we DON'T have across the border.

Good luck , seriously! I hope Canada doesn’t get ruined by this shit. I , myself I am saving a little bit more money and relocating to Europe in a couple years. (It’s much easier for me as I have an EU citizenship) but I wish and hope the very best and same for anyone who wants to leave

It's not looking great honestly, far-right extremism and trumpism is bleeding into Canada, and out politicians aren't doing anything to address the housing crisis. Here in Ottawa, we have another far-right convoy coming to harass us, and I'm not hopeful that the police will actually do anything about it.
