What’s going on in Canada?

It’s getting harder and harder for the Great White North to keep up the charade of being so ‘nice.’

While Canada prepares to welcome half a million new immigrants next year, the statistic nobody is talking about is outmigration. More and more Canadians are saying ‘enough is enough’ and fleeing the country for potentially greener pastures. Data from Statistics Canada showed more people leaving Canada permanently in the last quarter of 2021 than in any year since the 1970s. That trend has continued throughout 2022 and 2023.

An Ottawa resident recently told The Telegraph that while she considered leaving the country before, she decided to stay on because she loves the country “warts and all.” However, she now thinks that if Justin Trudeau wins another election she may reconsider, “as there’ll be nothing left of Canada to save.”

How does this happen to a country like Canada? How can a nation of relatively well-intentioned and educated people allow such things to occur?
