this is what I tell you houses cost 250k in canada in 2000s and were available for a family with 50k income now those houses 2m+. so house is 10x when salaries maybe just doubled there is no future for young people in canada. I heard some people do now 400 km commute daily in toronto area to afford housing, others rent a bed in a city and visit family on weekends. that's not quality of life
Canada's quality of life is not measured by a single city (e.g. Toronto) and the same is true for the United States or any other country. By the way, I remember the year of housing cost for 2000 in Canada because I almost purchased a home that year but decided to wait several more years. The average home in Canada back then was around +163k. The average Canadian salary in year 2000 was +22K per year. Today (as of 2024), the average Canadian salary was +67k per year. Today, the average commute in Toronto is +33 minutes by car and +55 minutes by transit. https://toronto.citynews.ca/2024/12/10/transit-commute-time-toronto-moovit-study/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/commute-times-toronto-1.7307002 I'm sure there's an idiot out there that is stupid enough to commute 400km or more to work and others who are brilliant and live in one of those job communities...allowing them to walk to work in a few minutes. I know a woman (corporate executive) who lives in Quebec but flies daily (4 days per week) to New York. She loves it but I think its odd for someone making a million dollars per year choosing to commute by airplane (corporate jet). My point, people with unusual long (extreme) commute times...it's their choice (they are not being forced to commute from such long distances) considering they could easily move closer to work so that their commute is near the average commute of a Canadian. wrbtrader
If you're youngster you have not much choice Goto QEW in the morning and check. Half of Niagara commutes everyday to Toronto
LOL. It only took one sentence from Trump for a whole nation of beta boy little bitches to shit their pants and call for the mommy. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14432149/canadians-outraged-hint-new-state-trump.html Canadians left outraged at worrying first sign US is set to make country its 51st state
As usual...Trump does not think before he runs his mouth. If Canada became the 51st state , Republicans should say bye-bye to the presidency.
It's just a few geeks at Google who lost money to their Canadian employees on the USA 2 - 3 overtime loss to Canada at the first (inaugural) 4 Nations Face-Off Hockey Championship game at the TD Garden Arena in Boston. https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/hock...hockeys-first-4-nations-face-title-rcna193100 A game some fans Canadians and Americans booed during the national anthem and the same game that lame-duck Trudeau would say the now infamously statement and trolling of Trump on Elon Musk's twitter (X) platform... "You can’t take our country and you can't take our game". To add insult to the USA loss after Trump failed to inspire them to a victory in his pre-game phone call...the Super Bowl winners Philadelphia Eagles voted (democratically) to not visit the White House to see Trump but if Trump publicly invites them considering he and his goons did attend the SuperBowl football game...they will visit the White House...hilarious. By the way, the rumor was that the Canadian employees at Google wanted to rename the Provincial parks as "Connor McDavid Provincial Parks" to celebrate the overtime winning goal but the American geeks got the best of them by changing the name to "state parks". By the way, great 4 Nations hockey games, great fans and great victory for Canada. The trolling by Canada's politicians including Conservatives of Trump after the victory was priceless. I had U.S. military buddies (retired) up here from the United States to watch the hockey championship...a few of us dual citizens (all conservatives) and we had a great time regardless who won. One of them was up here for the Quebec Pee Wee International Hockey tournament to watch his nephew play in the finals of their game. A great international tournament too...I think they set a record attendance because I have never seen a crowd as big like never before. In addition, I saw the most cars driving around with Canadian flags like never before even downtown Quebec City including by truckers in their rigs. P.S. Trump is more of a football fan than a hockey fan as is most of America. In contrast, it's the reverse in Canada...more of a hockey fan than a football fan. Many of Canada's college hockey stars attend college at USA universities. Yet, there's an increased number of planned college applications by Canada's hockey stars to Canadian universities. I know one who's a star on one of the USA's top collegiate teams...he's transferring to a top collegiate hockey program in Canada. Fun fact told to me by one of my military buddies from the U.S... Canada's win rate over the United States is 73%. P.S.S. I saw a trucker's rig here in Canada that said DEI = Deport Elon Immediately. The trucker must know that Elon Musk is a South African/Canadian immigrant to the United States. I think everybody here in Canada are really upset because all the beer and fine wines are no longer sold in SAQ stores. wrbtrader
Fuck off your takes on Canada are stupid. Like your psychotic leader. Trump keeps yapping but we won't see him in a boxing ring against Trudeau will we now . Although that would shut some of you up the minute Trump hit the canvas ( the first minute btw ). How sad is it that the US with all it's resources elected a dumb ass like Trump to be it's leader. The man is a joke.
Canada will NEVER be part of the US. You are one of those cowards like Trump that talks tough but expects other Americans to fight and die for your pointless causes. The military hates people like you with a passion.
Canada has a population of 40 million or so. How many electoral votes will this represent? Similar in population to California - so lets say 54 electoral votes. So basically if liberal Canada became a state -- a Republican would never be elected President again. I don't think Trump thought his idiotic plan through.
