Despite being one of the wealthiest economies globally, Canada has struggled with stagnating growth in recent years. The country has experienced little to no economic growth in recent years, and this trend seems to be continuing. This lack of growth has been linked to various factors, including a decline in oil prices and a lack of innovation and investment in various sectors. Its economy is also struggling with low productivity and innovation. The OECD forecasts that the country will stagnate and have the lowest growth of any advanced economy over the next 5 years. So, why is Canada struggling to grow, and what can this tell us about other advanced economies?

Stability is a result of our economy's struggles with uncertainty, housing issues, foreclosures, global volatility, and the pandemic's consequences. To restore stability and promote growth, all sectors must respond quickly to concerns about growing inflation, slow growth, and trade disruptions.
Consider hiring financial advisors, estate planners or tax experts. They can provide specialized knowledge and help you navigate complex financial decisions.
Having an investment advisor is currently the best way to approach the stock market. I was going alone, but it wasn't working. I've been working with an advisor for a while now, and last year, I achieved over 85% capital growth minus dividends
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
Monica Shawn Marti is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Thank you so much for your helpful tip! I was able to verify the person and book a call session with her. She seems very proficient and I'm really grateful for your guidance
Inflation hits people a lot harder than a crashing stock or housing market as it directly affects people's cost of living that people immediately feel the impact of. It's not surprising negative market sentiment is so high now. We really need help to survive in this Economy.
I think I could really use more guidance to navigate the market, it is completely overwhelming, I've liquidated most of my assets and I could really use some advice on what best to invest into.
Your best option if you are unfamiliar with the markets is to seek advice or help from a consultant or investing coach. I know it sounds simple or generic, but talking to a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. For me, it's the best method to enter the market right now.
please who is the consultant that assist you with your investment and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?
My consultant is‘’Catherine Morrison Evans’’ I found her on a CNBC interview where she was featured and reached out to her afterwards. She has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can look her up online if you care supervision. I basically follow her trade pattern and haven't regretted doing so.
Thanks for sharing, I just liquidated some of my funds to invest in the stock market, I will need every help I can get.
My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in Canada.
Inflation can have a significant impact on individuals and their cost of living. As a result, it can cause negative market sentiment. It is important for individuals and businesses to find ways to navigate and potentially mitigate the effects of inflation on their finances. The current economic climate, including underperformance of financial markets due to fear of inflation, has led to a decrease in the value of my portfolio. I would appreciate any recommendations on how to potentially increase returns during this market downturn.
@@TomD226 Inspiring! please can you leave more info of your investment adviser here? I’m in dire need for one.

Buy Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, Uranium stocks and Oil stocks. Saskatchewan has many of the biggest Uranium deposits in the world, Alberta has some of the biggest oil deposits. The amount of Gold and Silver mines we have in Canada is also up in the top of the world.
it's easy, get your tenth vax on your way to fight for ukraine
Our economy is worse its like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.
People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.
Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.
Hello, I am new when it comes to investing and i would really appreciate if I could get some tips about where it is worth to invest in (ETFs, Stocks, Growth stocks, Dividend stock etc.)Please do you mind referring me to your financial analyst?

The last time my landlord came to collect rent, I invited him to come up to my apartment to show him I was taking good care of the place (and to hopefully discourage him from renovicting me at some point in the future). He said he didn't have time, as he had to go collect rent from 11 or 12 of his other properties around the city. He also mentioned that he had never seen the inside of my apartment before (despite the fact that he owns it). He has only been in the country for a few years, but apparently he already owned a lot of land here before immigrating. He's a very nice guy, but I can't help but feel that there's something seriously wrong with this picture. We can't base our entire national economy on selling our land and resources to rich foreigners while we produce nothing of actual value.
Canada is a ressource country, how are we supposed to do something productive when our neighbour is the world’s biggest economy…
Time to bust out the guillotine
This is a large reason why people cannot afford housing either.
Actually foreign investors are great for Canada to increase competition with the local housing market.
But foreign refugees and other poor immigrants that don't works but collects goverment taxpayers supports actually adds competition to the low average to below average incomes locals.
@@loktom4068 Wrong unless you like insanely high housing costs
The Canadian Dream is having someone else pay your mortgage with their rent.
Well that's the game around the world
It is so true, and I have seen many young professional immigrants who has master degree and above's dream is to have 10 houses than do other valuable stuff
Without the home owners (Landlords) there would be a major homelessness pandemic. Respect your Landlords. Not everyone works harder or smarter investing in properties. Keep note that home owners contribute A LOT to the tax structure. Property tax and Land transfer tax. Renters should bow down to home owners for giving them a roof.
Facts
@@justinothedominicandragon940 everywhere is like that mate
The news about Canada's economy collapse is not new. the media are currently being inundated with the news of economic meltdown. It takes a lot to look past the sea of headlines and focus on what's important: No matter how low stock prices fall, they keep rising. I completely ignore all news and continue to invest. I recently set aside $40,000 to invest in the market as we anticipate a collapse. Do you have any suggestions?
The market will continue to fall, so I recommend you do a fundamental and technical analysis of the stocks of the companies you want to buy and their data forecasts for the next few years. Better yet, you could have an investment advisor help you restructure your entire portfolio and balance the bad apples you're holding. This strategy has worked for me so far, saved me a lot of stress, and is also very time efficient.
I completely agree, which is why I prefer to delegate daily decision-making to an investment adviser. It is difficult for them to underperform given their specialized knowledge and research, as well as the fact that every one of their abilities is geared toward utilizing risk for its asymmetrical potential, and mitigating risk of capital loss. I've been working with an investment advisėr for over two years, and have made over a quarter million dollar. It's really beneficial.
@@jeffery_Automotive I'm glad I stumbled across this discussion. If you don't mind, could you tell me how to reach this investment adviser who helps you with your investments?
The adviser I'm in touch with is 'Julie Anne Hoover' She works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else, for me her strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
@@jeffery_Automotive Thanks, I just googled her I'm really impressed with her credentials. I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get.
I used to think every investor went broke during recessions, meanwhile some make millions. I also thought everybody went out of business during the Great Depression, but some went into business. Bottom line, there's always depression for some, and profit for others, it all starts from having the right mindset. That said, I've set asides $145k to invest for future, unfortunately l'm a complete noob.
A lot of folks downplay the role of professionals until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for license advisors and came across someone of due diligence, helped a lot to grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to approx. $850k so far.
How can one contact your Asset-coach as my portfolio is dwindling?
Can't divulge much, it's only right you do your due diligence. I'm been guided by Olivia Maria Lucas and most likely, the internet is where to find her deets.
Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.
scam replies
The brain drain part really struck a cord with me. Canada spent tens of thousands of dollars subsidizing my education only for me to leave in my mid 20s to seek better opportunities in the US and get away from their housing crisis. I tried to stay in Canada but even the top companies had vastly lower pay compared to what I could find in the US relative to the cost of living. The biggest difference I've noticed living in Canada and the US is in Canada the smartest people I know are investing in unproductive real estate and in the US they are hustling to start/grow STEM startups. In my view, the worsening housing crisis in Canada will only exacerbate some of these stats in the coming years.
i agree
this is proof the us and canada should just become one country
@YOYO never going to happen, but I do agree. USA, Canada, and Mexico should seek a common economic zone. Similar to Europe, US can benefit from foreign labor (more so than they already do) and Canada and Mexico can benefit from US capital investment. And if it goes well it can be expanded to more developed parts of central America, Costa Rica and Panama notably
government officials were officially (sorry for tautology) promoting Canada as a cheaper labor opportunity during investment forums, no wonder it creates a brain drain gradient looking south.
@@Sam-ip6co US does not give a f*ck about its neighbors, NAFTA renegotiation check, illegal immigration crisis check. US just does not see Canada and Mexico as equal partners.
This country seemed like a paradise when I was growing up, our family had a doctor, we could get healthcare access quickly, my parents bought a beautiful home for cheap, and my dad started a successful company, while my mom was able to stay home and raise us.
These days both partners need to relentlessly work to even afford a place where raising a family is extremely difficult, healthcare treatment takes hours of waiting, and costs of basic services are through the roof. In BC we have only 1 government-run car insurance corporation, and they charge me $500 a month for my work vehicle, despite me having a nearly clean record.
Yup it's all gone to hell.
@@keithpalmer4547 Another baby boomer basher. Go figure. Accept responsibility for how you got to where you are now. Not all baby boomers are living the high life.
Canada's number 1 problem is that it's too damn cold. As people become wealthier they look at quality of life; in the US all the Sun Belt states are thriving and the Salt Belt states are losing talent. Half of Florida seems like wealthy Canadians in the winter. Cold weather causes brain drain.
It's because Trudeau's. And the entire family structure. They keep Canada deliberately down. Canada should be the number 1 energy producer, with what we have in oil, gas and hydro. Top refined mineral and rare earth stop. Best ports. Hudson Bay with 6 icebreakers leaving the bay free for trade all year. But we can't because of the energy policies and cross province resource extraction being forced to involve the federal government. BCs greatest parts where built under a party long gone. The liberals and NDP have done untold damage with nothing to show for it.
Immigrants are the problem. They compete for jobs and real estate. They could be China spies too. Stop immigration and most problems will go away. Amen.
Just what I needed to watch.
My wife and I are directors of our farm business and own property, plus small pensions. I am nearly 55, my wife is 52.
We have started to save to retire from the farm, and possibly live on rental income, I'd really appreciate you go LIVE and talk about how to earn passive income online and retire comfortably, let’s say $1M.
Find stocks with market-beating yields and shares that at least keep pace with the market for a long term. For a successful long-term strategy I recommend you seek the guidance a broker or financial advisor.
Very true , I diversified my $400K portfolio across multiple market with the aid of an investment advisor, I have been able to generate over $900k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds in few months.

$1M in passive income? You will need about $25M for that. Maybe more now given how overprice the stock market is. Rental businesses only really make sense in Alberta now given the hostile governments elsewhere, high interest rates and low CAP rate.
I REALLY need to make this money work for me, and not just disappear over time. I've been scrambling for somewhere to put the money, where I can make an effort to use the gains to pay bills so I can quit my job or should force early retirement. All roads have pointed to the financial market of some sort which is a good idea buh where else should I put money besides the financial market? We have a 13% RPI rate so cash is tough.
Yep great question and that’s always the one - where would you rather be if you have an option. Personally I’m always invested aside from a small emergency fund. Financial-market for me seem the only way forward with my long time horizon (accrued almost $1.4m in gains since 2020 ) but if you don’t have that fortune of time it’s a tough market out there almost nowhere feels safe! . Just know the risk you're comfortable with . Mistake is expensive
I fully agree; I'm 60 years old and recently retired with approximately 1.2 million in outside retirement funds, no debt, and very few dollars in retirement funds in comparison to my portfolio balance over the last three years. To be honest, the financial advisor's role can only be ignored, not dismissed. Therefore do your research to get a reputable one.
@@joesphcu8975 A million dollars in profit is a fantastic achievement; how can I contact this advisør of yours?

Canada is a real estate banana republic. Real estate is an unproductive asset to the general economy. It's dependent on low borrowing rates which encourages asset price inflation and the exploitation of those who are unwilling to participate or those unable to afford barriers to entry. This perpetual cycle of borrowing, buying and exploiting, has its upper limitations. Eventually everyone loses as debts are insurmountable and rent becomes unaffordable. When a recession occurs due to lack of spending, job losses will occur and a deleveraging will be soon to follow.
I totally believe we are at the point you brought up. The debts are insurmountable, the rents are unaffordable. High unemployment is the last domino to fall before it all implodes.
@@brianbondy5667 Its wild to me that we report 'lowest unemployment rate since 1957" as a good thing for Canada's economy. Like yeah we're all working, but that's because those who in good times shouldn't have to (retirees, pregnant/new parents, people with significant disabilities) are forced into working low-skill, low-capital service jobs to avoid homelessness. The day it busts is the day inflation+wage stagnation hits the tipping point that working 40+ hours a week doesn't even afford the bare minimum for most Canadians anymore, and it feels like we're approaching that soon.
@@Steadyaim101 Well said friend.
Yeah, it's pathetic that the so-called Canadian "economy" is a mirage founded on artificially inflated housing prices propped up by endless debt, foreign and domestic speculators, and criminal money laundering.
Real Estate Banana republic. bahaha - Canadian here, love this comment!
This is so relatable. I was earning 60k CAD in Vancouver, living in an one bedroom condo and had no investment. Then I moved to Seattle (3 hours from Vancouver), now making 170k USD, owning two real-estate properties. I don't want to move back to Canada anymore, because the life there is very expensive, why do I pay so much tax and still can not have a decent life?

For the average person, the strategies are fairly demanding. In actuality, most professionals who have the necessary expertise to pull off such trades effectively carry them out.
Had a good run during my first year in the fin-market, I assumed I had a hang on it. However, things changed during the pandemic, and I needed to diversify into safe assets, so I approached a coach who devised a structure that matched my annual goal of 200k
Although my knowledge of the business is limited, it seems that this is the ideal time to enter the market based on my understanding of supply and demand in the economy. The consistent price variations, which shouldn't be an issue, are the only thing stopping me. But I really need a counselor; could you please assist me?

We Are in Unchartered Financial Waters! every day we encounter challenges that have become the new standard.

Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.
My main concern now is how can we generate more revenue during quantitative times? I can't afford to see my savings crumble to dust.
It's a delicate season now, so you can do little or nothing on your own. Hence I’ll suggest you get yourself a financial expert that can provide you with valuable financial information and assistance

Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
Things are strange right now. The US dollar is becoming less valuable because of inflation, and other powerful nations waking up to trade in their own currencies. Good thing is, a lot of people still turn to the Dollar because of the safety is somehow assures.

The way I see this recession most likely has an external cause. The United States is losing influence as a federal currency for the first time in decades. They don’t have any economies to utilize to control their inflation, and less money is being spent on stock and oil trading than previously. They all lend credence to the hypothesis that a new multilateral world order may be in the works.
But the professionals are still crushing it right now because they have both the necessary approach to pull off a profit in the market plus access to insider market knowledge that isn’t made public.
That’s true! To succeed the financial market, you must review and put into consideration the dynamics of your assets prior investing. Analysis based on research is vital which is why I recommend investing with a professional if you don’t know the basics.
Exactly why i enjoy market decisions being guided by a professional, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk management and market experience, been using the expertise and guidance of John Desmond Heppolette, for over 5years+ and I've netted over $3million in that time frame..

In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.
Nicolas - If I may rephrase what you've said - your advise is to sell Canadian fiat currency and buy assets that will hold their value .
As of Nov 2023 , thinking in terms of 2 or 5 years down the road . Following a dividend growth investment style , there are a number of solid Canadian dividend stocks " on sale " right now . Look for a dividend pay out ratio of no more than 50% , the valuation price is below the trading price and the P/E ratio is under 1: 19 even as low as 1: 9 .
.
Also , REIT's and Utilities are getting hurt right now because of high debt ratios and rising interest rates .
REIT's can be thought of as fixed income - all of which is getting clobbered right now .
If and when central banks start lowering rates , REIT's will come screaming back . But that's IF and WHEN .

gold and stocks arent investments dummy, they do not contribute to the economy

True. Little by little. Gold can be bought as cheap as 60$. Although it wont be a lot, it’s something.
People try to predict the economy not realizing it is not a capitalistic market, its a command economy, central planning! my concern is, instead of having much dollar in bank that could lose value to inflation, do I save in gold to reserve and grow wealth for now, or just hang on?

I live in canada and am starting my final year of high-school in the fall. I have a lot of friends my age, none of us are planning to stay. All of us are going to the States or Europe. We're not leaving because we don't like Canada, we're being forced out because its too expensive to survive. The last two years have been a slow realization that the options for people my age are A) live on the support of your parents for the rest of your foreseeable life, B) become homeless, or C) leave.
Its especially painful because a lot of people here came from immigrant families who worked hard to come here for a better life for their kids, just to have their kids leave for elsewhere or even return to their country of origin.
Im a first year college student (graduated hs in June 2023) the o mt reason I’m in college is bc I was lucky enough to get into living assistance and that’s paying for it. But it stops in April when I graduate and it’s hard to get a job in my career choice, so I have either live with roomates well working 40hr+ weeks or just leave🤷♂️
Europe isn't that much better from a cost of living standpoint. The EU especially is full of renters.
Yeah it was a waste of their time to immigrate to Canada cause all they worked for was sucked up by the politics instead of going to you.
Same after I'm done my education in university I'm moving to the US or maybe somewhere in europe
I was an international student in Canada and am now a neutralized Canadian. In the last 5-6 years, Canada has increased their immigration target every year. A lot of people coming in boosted the housing price, additionally, putting a burden on healthcare
I agree with you
I’m also an immigrant to Canada, the immigration targets are way too high. It’s not just housing, social services and infrastructure just can’t keep up.
Yeah your are all right canada doesn't have the economy to withstand a large amount of immigration especially with this modern war in Ukraine and the need of energy product's we need this war to end to stabilize thr economy then get the immigration in suitable level at that time.
Yup. This current government needs to be ousted from office next election. We need more investment in Canada and less immigration.
Again “the immigrants are the problem.” Canada needs the workforce, immigrants. The problem is tho they mostly accept people for few industries. It’s cool that we are getting talented tech workers but we also need immigrants who are nurses, doctors. However it is not as easy for these people to move here because Canada doesn’t recognize health licenses from other countries without going through education and getting a license here too. Other industry workers don’t need such a hustle. So we have basically no new doctors or nurses coming in with thousands of non doctors. This needs to change.
The trouble with Canada is that no political party is capable of simultaneously gaining power while also making the difficult structural changes that would make the country more competitive. Successive governments have pandered to the needs of baby boomers protecting their housing wealth, to the detriment of literally everyone else. Young Canadians head south where they can make 2x more money, knowing they can always come back when they are rich. It’s a terrible predicament with no easy solution.

High prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.
It's recommended to save at least 20% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 20% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of investing in the stock market and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.
Considering the increased complexity since the 2008 crash and COVID, I suggest diversifying your financial portfolio. I hired an advisor and successfully grew my portfolio by over $150K during this turbulent market using defensive strategies that protect and profit from market fluctuations.
Hello, I am new when it comes to investing and i would really appreciate if I could get some tips about where it is worth to invest in (ETFs, Stocks, Growth stocks, Dividend stock etc.)Please do you mind referring me to your financial analyst?
My advisor is Vivian Carol Gioia, a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
I copied her whole name and pasted it into my browser; her website appeared immediately, and her qualifications are excellent; thank you for sharing.
The financial system has been artificially pumped for over a decade to ensure big pockets were lined; and now those same hands will make a fortune in the largest transfer of wealth in human history by shorting it on the way down. Inflation does have a roll, but that's to keep everyone panicked, and focused on their bills and expenses, rather than focus on the capital crimes of politicians and corporations,I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $338k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market??
Find stocks with yields that exceed the market and stocks that, at the very least, follow the long-term market trend. However, you should get guidance from a financial advisor if you want to create a successful long-term plan...
I agree, I've been in constant touch with an Investment advisor for approximately 17 months. These days, it's really easy to buy into trending stocks, but the task is determining when to sell or hold. That's where my advisor comes in, to help me with entry and exit points , I've accrued over $337k from an initially stagnant reserve of $148K all within 18 months...
Impressive, that sounds good but how do I reach out to your ad_visor?
The adviser I'm in touch with is 'Deborah Sue Bohn', he works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else. for me his strategy works hence my result. he provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
Definitely gonna check her out. I live in Swit_zerland. Any idea if it's still okay to re_ach out?
I'm Canadian, born and raised. I feel disenfranchised and disconnected from my country. With the economic issues mentioned, I also feel like Canada doesn't have a culture or a proper identity. I don't know what being Canadian is, but it feels like it's just watered-down American culture.
I've been slaving away the past few years in hopes of getting out of this place. It could be a huge mistake, and I know it is a huge risk, but I feel like I don't have much here anymore.

Amen. I feel the same way. I was proud to be Canadian, now I don’t recognize the place. I work 7 days a week, try to save up for a house, to just get ahead. It’s so hard to be in this country now with the politics and economic crisis we’re in. I’d love to go to the states and have the opportunity too in a year or so. Hoping it works out for you man.

@@Beanz192 Thank you for the kind words, brother. It’s tricky getting ahead here and I know it must be disheartening to do a lot of overtime, just to see how much you’ll get taxed on the next paycheque.

@Steadyaim101 Its so understandable. The cost of real estate, whether to own or lease has just made having a business location impossible!!
Ugh that’s awful! And nailed it with “quiet quitting.”
@@Steadyaim101 This! Run a successful business pay so much tax that most of your profitts go to the CRA. This reality forces many small business owners to focus on "tax planing" rather than growing the business which would drive innovation, grow the econnomy etc.
Except we really aren't taxed all that heavily🙄 and you bitching about it just highlights a lack of understanding about how macro economics works. You and your competitor pay the same taxes on profits. If it's a service, or product, that's a baked in cost. If you removed those taxes, theoretically speaking you should be able to. Lower prices... Except so can your competitor. 🙄 In reality what ends up happening is prices don't drop but profits increase. If you want to reinvest there are plenty of tax mechanisms to reinvest. The problem is we have made it such that the big guys can fuck with this to the point of stupidity and end up with next to no taxes altogether while little businesses can't take advantage of the same mechanisms. There is a sweet spot for taxes but claim why businesses aren't doing well because of taxes is really just people who promote capitalism failing at it. Removing taxes for your particular niche also means your competition also gets it. If they were beating you before they can't beat you still. The only difference is now there is less to pay for things that your workers and you benefit from like infrastructure, education, courts and healthcare. 🙄 Taxes aren't fun but demonizing them comes from a misunderstanding of how important they are. You think they're done inefficiently fine, no shit, it's a system by democracy. Inefficiency is baked in. That's part of the sacrifice for having a more. Resilient system
Biggest problem with Canada is lack of job opportunities or lack of intent to develop opportunities for technically skilled population. I have seen people with PhD doing general labour or security job. Out of 20 students in my MSc engineering class, only 3 were able to secure job related to their study. I still have to witness one political party, which has industrial growth or bringing in more job opportunities to Canada as part of their agenda.
Buy an Education to get a job at DOLLERRAMA ! 😳🧐
That bad? All my engineer friends found a job pretty quick post-MSc. Hell, I found a good job with a Psych PhD before I even graduated. I see it though, its really difficult to get ahead in Canada or get a business going that would employ high-skilled labour. So much easier to move to Florida where they will literally shower you with money and personally cut the red tape if you have a viable business plan.
Agree with your general points but the Engineering analogy is a bit off. All engineering graduates (BASc or MSc) I know had easily found a job in one of the 3 main cities in Canada within 3-4 months of their graduation. Maybe international students without undergrad experience (internship) in Canada would have a harder time?
@@alexandrealferan7144 I am not talking about foreign credentials. I have been in Canada since I was 10 years old.
It's due to Canada needing more entrepreneurs to create jobs for those types of people. The fact that Canada has ignored these entrepreneurs has been the big issue for the country.

As a Canadian citizen who moved to France for better opportunities, I fail to recognize any positive things about Canada and its culture and economy.

I was working like a slave in the oil patch for a measly $30k annually. And all of this to live paycheck to paycheck in a boring city in a crappy flat with cockroaches. And the food and climate sucks. And Canadians are the most introverted people on the planet.

The largest employer in Canada is the government. That tells you all need to know about innovative and entrepreneurship. The Canadian dream is to work for the federal government, get a good pension and get an easy worry free job as a public servant.
Canada is light years ahead of my country (Argentina), and stable (we're not) but it's crazy how you guys have similar issues as us when it comes to over reliance on natural resource extraction and low wages which incentivize people to find work in the public sector given a mentality that goes "If I'll get paid little, I'd rather work for the state which won't expect much from me, rather than for a private company that will wring every last bit of work from me"
that is true of most countries in the UK the largest employer is the NHS. the economy is also sluggish because it is built on rising property prices. British companies also under invest and take profit instead.rents are also ridiculous. many parallels , but I would Rather be in c\anada, the UK government are truly awful.
That describes China today too. Everyone wants a government job. Canada's federal pension is ridiculous. They do not deserve a guaranteed retirement that no one else gets
This is a reasonable high level analysis but if you look under the hood, things are falling apart. A lot of the values and metrics used may be out of date or skewed (intentionally or otherwise).

Right!!!
If you think Canada is really corrupt I got news for you bud
On the whole, it is. In the Trudeau administration, not so much. For example, I lived in Turkey for a couple years, and regularly had to pay bribes to the state services centre to keep my residency card. When I tried to leave in 2016, turns out they were taking my money and didn't update my residency anyways so security held me at the airport for 12 hours until I paid another bribe to leave. That was considered normal and raised no eyebrows among my Turkish friends but would be completely unheard of in Canada. The bar is incredibly low, even in developing countries corruption is so normalized that its just whatever.
I legit came here to comment the same thing. Our current government is corrupt as fuck..
The US economy too is grappling with uncertainties, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
Things are strange right now. The US dollar is becoming less valuable because of inflation, and other powerful nations waking up to trade in their own currencies. Good thing is, a lot of people still turn to the Dollar because of the safety is somehow assures. I'm worried about my retirement savings of about $400,000 losing value because of these factors and more. Where else can we keep our money?
Well, I suggest you make a diversification plan because it's been harder to build a good portfolio that stays afloat since COVID. Personally, I garner knowledge from a brokerage Adviser whom I work with, and I've actually made over $350K with their help since February.

Hence real estate. Honestly you are being played by realtors who are the only people making real money in the game. I dont want to part take in a culture that lives in million dollar homes but thinks twice to buy an extra bag of bread. Sorry man thats not the life I am building for myself with my hard earned money. Sorry for Canada though. If your average Joe has no cash to spend and pays everything towards real estate, you are giving zero room for other businesses to grow. You see major big brands closing Canadian operations already..

I run a small business in Canada and it’s ridiculously difficult to do here right now. Not only is the available labor pool deficient, but energy prices are high and regulations inhibitory.
It took 10 years of blood, sweat and tears to get to a solid place, and yet some days I still want to throw in my hat because the Canadian government issued another mandatory survey that takes DAYS to fill out, or some other such nonsense.
Makes me fear of even starting a business here considering you’re penalized to work in this country, might aswell go to Florida considering that’s the area where my business is gonna focus on with the weather
The survey is for them to see how to tax and adds more costly red tapes to your 100% privately owned business.
In another word is to squeeze more juice out of an already dried up apple.

The US-Canada wage gap hits hard. Americans are becoming meaningfully wealthier than us on a per capita basis, all while their housing prices are significantly lower. We're not that far away from the average American making 50% more than the average Canadian. We're getting poorer and it's like no one is talking about it.

As a Canadian that works closely with the government, the other issues that the tax rate in Canada is very high. Even you get a good paying job or a profitable business, a significant portion of your paycheck/profits goes to the government. There is also a lot of bureaucratic and legislative hurdles to overcome and too little incentives when trying to start or develop a business. For example, to build a high density residential building, it takes around 1 - 2 years of planning and studies, then another year to get all the permits and government paperwork, then 2 years of construction. It takes around 5 years to build a new residential building. Canada's housing affordability problem is not just simply cause by people willing to buy property, it is also cause by a significant shortage of housing supply due to all these regulations and hurdles. If you can't find affordable housing and your income is also heavily tax, a lot Canadians will go south to the US where things are a lot more affordable.
I am a landlord and developer. Aside from all the red tap to build, the government tax the hell out of RE industry. 30% of the cost to build are government fees and taxes. Rent is taxed at 50%. If you sell you must pay taxes which means I don’t get to reinvest that money into more housing. In Ontario the LTB protects tenants so that if they don’t pay you’re SOL. The people here passionately hate investors like me, they believe I am the problem. All I do is build homes and add to the shortage of supplies but ya I’m the bad guy.
I have 14 new rental units in the pipeline but after I’m done I been thinking of selling everything and move to the US and invest and build there where I am respected and not taxed into oblivion. Red tape for building is least of my worries tbh.
We face brand-new obstacles every day that have become the norm. We now recognize it as the new normal and must adjust even if we once saw it as a catastrophe. How can we increase our income during this period of adjustment given the present economic challenges the nation faces in 2023? I worked hard to earn my $680,000 in savings, and I cannot let them disappear.
I'll suggest you find a mentor or someone with experience guide you especially in this downturn. especially for your portfolio diversification.

Understand what money really is. Money is simply a statement of equivalent value of goods and services.
Suppose we have this oversimplified sample: 10 people 10 apples and $10 -> there is $1 for 1 apple
10 people 10 apples and $1000 -> there is $100 for 1 apple
10 people 0 apples and $100,000,000 -> if there is 0 apples, what is the value of $ if it buys nothing?
10 people 10 apples and $0 -> can each of the people still have 1 apple?
so the question is, who can print money? the people or the government?
who can increase the production of goods and services? the people or the government?
what of these two factors can you influence?
Therefore, I recommend that we should invest in goods and services - that is invest in production of goods, and increase our social capital by making all sorts of friends.
Because the government can print money anytime and cause the value of your savings to go haywire, but if you have expert friends you can trade for skills and products at their actual value.
Great, informative, well researched video.
Thank you for translating the figures into freedom units.
As a Canadian, I have to say this is a good summary of the major economic issues Canada faces right now. Our current government's polices have done nothing but make the problems worse and people are getting angry.
It's a lost cause, economists have warned every Canadian government over the past 25 years that under investment in research and development and under investment in capital will cause productivity to stagnate. Economists also warned ever Canadian government over the past 15 years that the real estate bubble will lead to private investment capital being drawn away from productive ventures to unproductive real estate.

Minimum wage isnt a good thing either. It incentivizes minimum payment across a wide range of services vs people getting paid according to their productive ability. There are countries that do no have minimum wage, so they negotiate by sector or by union.
Minimum wage in Vancouver vs some town in the middle of nowhere mean very different things for their economies dictate different compensation for work done.

The thing about been successful is working toward it and not going the other way round
It's obvious everyone is doing this online Investment
@@Perla.pagoyo I totally agree with you it has been an eye-opening experience for a lot of people.
Talking about been successful. I know I am blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone is as spectacular as Stacy Garric
its getting bad here man. Every downtown sector with a population over 100k has a major homeless/drug problem. Theres no opportunity to live...work? yeah, live not much...
What we are seeing global inflation. I saw it in the news that most countries are all competing for parts, products, food etc. Even nations that managed their rates better are seeing major issues. The glut of money was an issue sure, but the surging demand from nation that re-opened from covid lockdowns played a larger role. Add to this pandemic-related staffing issues, Russia-Ukraine Conflict and the intentional global oil supply problems and its a nightmare.
U.S inflation hit 7% in December, fastest pace since 1982 . Consumer prices in Germany rose by 3.1% in 2021 . France shows a 12 -months inflation rate of 3.4% the highest since September 2008.
I think we need to stop softening the blow with the word “recession”. This is going to be a depression. 4 top economist agree on this. When the market reached high in mid 1930 it took until mid 1932 to reach the bottom. people can’t buy when they have no food, the trucks don’t have DEF to mix with the diesel to run (in all diesel trucks newer than 2009) No trucks-no food-no fertilizer....

This is a very well made short video. Canada needs leadership that is bold enough to think about Canada's interest and plan for the long haul, rather than just content collecting money from land title transfer.
As a fellow Canadian I confirm what this guy say is absolutely true. U can easily get jobs in US that r 2-4X the salary of identical jobs in Canada… Not to say the Cost of Living in US is at minimum 25-50% cheaper than Canada. The only people who fits well in Canada r the poor, old and children
Not 100% true...incomes are not 2 to 4x the amount and they must pay for medical insurance.
If they average 80 k and we average 60 k how much do they pay for insurance. We are taxed higher...but at the end of the day if they pay higher insurance premiums they might make 10% more...
You guys are forgetting most companies pay for insurance not all but a decent chunk
Thanks for the analysis. Jarvis.
For all the talked about housing market problems in China we have our own distortions in our Canadian market that are dragging us down to. I sold my home 6 years ago (75% paid off) and left for an overseas work experience. When I came back ,my nest egg, even with a little stock market growth would never allow me to purchase the equivalent of what I had. While I was gone prices had gone up well over 50%. To acquire another home would be like starting all over from graduation. Homes should be for living in!
That was an excellent summary of the Canadian economy and its strengths and Weaknesses. Thank you, great job!
I use to think its time to abandon this sinking ship named Canada but for some reason this video and the way the voice explained things made me realize, why don’t i try to solve this issue at an individual level and teach others here it can be done. I will start my business and hope for the best. Thanks for the video kind voice!
I live in Canada. It feels dystopic to live here. Low wages, high rents, astronomically high real estate, and instead of building new cities and/or closing the borders, the government insists upon increasing the population while keeping the supply of housing fixed. It's a joke. We need strong-willed leadership in Canada to build new cities with wide roads and cheap housing.
We don't need any more cities. The cities and the urban lifestyle are the problem. Close the borders sounds like a better solution that way as much land can be kept as unspoiled as possible
Vladimir Putin may help.
We need to have immigration. Our largest demographic, the baby boomers, are retiring en-masse. With birthrates in Canada being below replacement levels, we need immigrants to maintain the same/grow the population.
Canada needs immigrants. What they also need is to get the right type of immigrants, and how to use them properly. I will say they need more immigrants who will start farms in the vast unused lands in the north most.
@@user-xg8yy7yl1d Perhaps closing the provincial borders would help a bit. Also hello fellow BCite.
Totally agree. More business investments is much needed in Canada.
Trudeau must go then...
Exactly not happening with Trudeau.
Canada in general has so many restrictions that it makes business go elsewhere. The government acts like a union for the whole country - you get no say if you want investment or not and the government decides some moral reason to drives investment away
Canada is not business friendly at all even less so Quebec
When I talk to Canadian friends about buying stocks they usually laugh to my face. Then they buy crypto at the top 🤣
This hits close to home. In January 2022, during a fourth pandemic lockdown with home prices reaching astronomical numbers. I decided to give up and start the process of working in the US. As a nurse in Ontario, I was making $1000CA/wk after taxes. In California, my current take home pay after taxes is $3200US/wk. I could never imagine going back now
A lot of American nurses I talk to speak about low wage Canadians driving down wages but raising your income that much is a no brainer
@@RoCK3rAD I doubt it. We are probably the 6th or 7th most prevalent foreign nurse demographic behind Filipino.
This is literally the first time I’ve ever heard a story about someone moving to California and seeing their standard of living improve dramatically. Ontario must be nightmare fuel if 2023 California is a beacon of hope.
@@hornetguy9063 the rent in Toronto now comparable with the rent in San Francisco. But wages are higher here and taxes are substantially less (despite it being one of the highest taxed states in the US). Go figure. And yes Ontario (and Canada in general) is in shambles, which is sad considering that never used to be the case.
@@robleblanc2158 yeah that’s nuts. I laugh to myself whenever I listen to Americans blather on about how their life would be so much better in Canada. I welcome them to try it out. Hope they have enough cash on hand to buy a home outright, though, because that seems to be the only way to keep the costs down
Well made, it is basic, but it summarizes the Canadian economy in a nutshell. I remember many years ago showing my friends a house that I loved and wanted to own someday. my friend said to me "oh, you'll have to win the lottery to buy that house" That statement perfectly encapsulates the attitude and belief system of most Canadians; success is literally a fantasy.
Great video! Really well researched and your animations are great.
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I'm happy to see that their quality has significantly improved! These videos are very informative and I love your work. Hope you keep at it. :))
Great video 👍🏼 what is the name of this sound effect? 3:23
Incredible information
The Govt is not stable and we have never experienced such a concentration of power in the PM’s office, the growing number of controversies in this office and such division caused by this office. No wonder many Canadians are leaving. We have one more opportunity (2025) to correct the course of this nation. 🇨🇦
How when voting is rigged, they're slected not elected!
Voting is a joke
It’s called socialism. Trudeau has been tought by world marxists to dictate communist rules and regulations. Biden too.
we won't get that opportunity.
The US is only better temporarily. We have the same woke idiots that have erased the border entirely, they seem to be actively trying to start a war, and the endless climate/gender hysteria you hear from Trudeau. My prediction is they will do everything necessary including cheating to win the next election and then change all the voting laws to make sure they never lose again. The US is going to Canada 2.0 soon enough
The greatest obstacle to the Canadian economy starts with T and ends with U and has 5 letters in between.
I thought it starts with C and ends with an O with 4 letters in between
Funny, because the provinces are autonomous in most of their affairs. Can’t blame the feds for everything.
There's a famous old story (told in many versions featuring different celebrities) that George Bernard Shaw received an unsolicited marriage proposal from a woman who wrote that she was the most beautiful woman in the world and he was the most intelligent man, so they would have beautiful intelligent children. GBS wrote back asking -- but what if the children inherited his looks and her brains. FWIW, I think Justin inherited his mom's great looks.
@@alkriman4182 ok..? The PM is just Ok like any other shitty politician. They’re all shit mate, but I sure as fuck don’t trust a conservative whether I’m in the UK or in Canada
@@alkriman4182 Trudeau inherited all of his mom's brains ... which is to say ... not much.
Great video my friend. We had a dream for 12 years of retiring in Mexico. In 2021 we made that dream a reality. Cheers from 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico. 🇲🇽✌🏼
I wish Canada did more R&D. We have the talent and brains to be innovative, yet so many of us go work in the oil & natural gas sector because it pays handsomely.
Also to live in the most scenic provinces like BC and Ontario is crazy expensive. We moved from AB to BC in 2009 which my parents bought their house for $550,000 that's situated 40km East of Vancouver, and today their house is valued at 1.4 million... almost 3 times the original purchase price in just over a decade. Now an adult, my wife and I were forced to move back to Alberta and leave our families because we simply cannot afford to rent there nor ever have an honest shot at saving enough money to buy our own place. It is what it is and I'm sure it's a common theme that's not only exclusive to Canada, but man, it does sucks. I'm happy for any immigrants to move here and call Canada their home too, but many are loaded with money and purchase numerous properties just to then rent it out at an absurd rate because they can. It's fueling the problem worst and making it unfair for the born & raised Canadians.
You are bang on with your assessment. I am now retired but spent my entire career in the private manufacturing sector. Because of poor economic policy, I have watched the decline in the manufacturing sector to which I have been screaming about for the last 20 years. You cannot be a service only oriented economy which we clearly are moving toward. The last 8 years have been extremely the worst with the current Liberal government in charge - Canada needs better leadership and Trudeau clearly is incapable of providing it. It's not too late! The structural bones are there, we just need smarter people in the government to provide the right economic stimulus to make it happen.
He's been steadily expanding the Liberal voter base through immigration. They may be unbeatable at this point
Very true. The problem that Canada has is there is getting to be a large portion of people that have taken our wealth for granted. This generation has forgotten how wealth is created, so much so that when any projects are proposed there is automatic opposition to them. And the opposition is given so much credibility that many projects never see the light of day. Canadians are the kings of missed opportunities.
Seeing how the fumbled the Cannabis industry... Can't deny it
Canada is where innovation goes to die as it is taxed and minimum-waged into obscurity
Well, opposition to new projects and development is a multi-generational phenomenona. I doubt the 'this generation' you're referring to is solely responsible for all of Canada's woes. Though it's definitely easy to use them as a scapegoat.
@@jamesclarke2789 well who is responsible then, the martians?
The town I went to high school was a sleepy little retirement community and my grandmother and her generation opposed any large businesses from coming into the town not wanting them to kill the smaller businesses, so those businesses went to the neighboring communities. Now my grandmother and her generation are almost gone, the town is slowly dying and those businesses they fought to protect died anyways.

Great video. I just hope for the better economy in Canada for the next few years. I know they can do better. Many talented and hard working people.

I live in rural Newfoundland. At 23 years old i was able to buy a house for 239k with a 12k down payment. I was only able to do this by saving my money since I started working at 17, although when i started working and saving i never thought that money would go to buying a house. Anyways my point is I was only able to afford this home because i lived with my parents until i bought a house and they were kind enough not to charge me rent, all i had to do was pay for groceries and help out around the house. However paying over 200k for a house in a small community that only has a hardware store grocery store and a gas station with the nearest town that has anything more than that being a 45 minute drive away via highway is insane. I am by far the exception in this generation rather than the rule, and I wish our housing market was better so that people could afford to buy homes without having to luck into such favorable conditions like I did
A HOUSE for 250k? Goddamn. That’s like 2001 prices
@@danielstory2761 yeah but in 2001 that house would be located in the suburbs of Toronto not in a backwater fishing village in newfoundland lol
@@AvirekzFrostif you can thank immigrats and their desire to make profits the easiest way for that. And anyone who refutes that evidence based fact is a deceptive lying rat. Cus it sure as heck was not local Canadians pouring those 100s of billions of dollars from Asia into Canada and BC and Ontario real estate, it was dual citizens of Honk Kong and Canada and or China and Canada and or middle eastern nations and Canada or India and Canada...And that is about it. Cut the crap....everyone knows.
Canada in a nutshell :
Bombardier, biggest aircraft manufacturers in Canada has received less public funding in its entire life than Boeing in just 1 year.
Let that sink in.
Canada also has 1/10 the population of the US but yeah we really don’t support companies here which is odd considering most of the stuff our government buys being atleast partially made in Canada is a requirement.

That is why I had to start forex trading 2months ago and I now am making benefits from it..
My first investment was with Shanita Creswell, it gave me profit of over $80,000 Us dollar...
I'm glad I was introduced to forex trading and got the best teacher and mentor who helped me understand the financial market l'm grateful to Mrs Shanita 🙏🏻
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
At the very least, I now grasp the concept of leverage.
Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe. Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely.
That is why I work with John Desmond Heppolette, who introduced me to a better Financial community, a verified agency where I learned how money works and how to create it, as well as free books, courses, and daily lectures. You also get to meet new people, which was the best decision I ever made.
You are correct! Working with a financial advisor who has worked in a solid financial firm for a long time, such as John will actually set you up for success in life. I'm delighted I was able to reach out to "John Desmond Heppolette" earlier this year because while others were grumbling about the downturn in the markets due to the state of the economy, I was busy learning from him and eventually made over seven figures in the first quarter alone, which is why it's always good to join the correct community.
Yeah real, that guy is one asset manager that gives the breakdown of everything on how things are done, joining an effective financial community can be 100% beneficial when joined properly that's all I can say out of experience
Please who is John Desmond Heppolette..?
He also happens to be one of the best asset managers I've ever worked with. I've actually had a conversation with John Desmond Heppolette. It has been a truly flawless experience for the past 6 years.
Fix the housing problem, everything else will get subsequently better.
You can't fix the housing problem. The only thing that has changed in 75 years is the level of government involved in housing. We have the same land, natural resources, and skilled trades. There is no way government will reduce the level of requirements and restrictions they have put in place.
@@ickster23 You could stop immigration, it would reduce demand.

Wow thank you for that. Understanding the loss of talent was really enlightening. Brain drain is something I thought I understood but now I understand it way better.
New Zealand exactly the same. Average house prices around 1 million with average of the major citys 1.3m
As a Canadian I’m thankful to have grown up in such a great place. But it still bothers me to how little our growth has been. Canada has every tool required to be a fully self sustained global powerhouse. Yet nothing has been done to achieve this goal
it actually does not have the tools to be a global powerhouse
@@VegaTakeOver It does, except, it doesn't have the leaders who know how to use them.

@@VegaTakeOverit has oil and a shit ton of natural resources. It has the best shipping route in the northern west passage which if dumb pansies got outta the way in Ottawa could become the worlds newest better Panama Canal. They could build way bigger ships which would reduce cost of shipping and allow way more goods shipped and also it’s a shorter distance than going through the Panama Canal to Europe or parts of Africa.

@@VegaTakeOverCanada could make big deals with there natural gas reserves and reduce the worlds CO2 emissions in countries that don’t have fuel for fuck sake but oh well, we’ll never know. Canada should be building a strong navy to patrol our borders aswell
Your video really hit the nail on the head. I wish our policy makers up here would take note.
I came to Canada with big economic dreams, but Canada has so laid back attitude when it comes to economic development. This country is good for retired people only 😄

You have to be rich retired people to live here
Brian drain is also taking people to Canada from other countries. Most of my classmates moved to Canada after finishing their A levels from Bangladesh.
The only question is how big is this bubble going to grow before it pops!
I think we are reaching the upper-limit. The bubble will pop in the next few years.
Over 50% of Canadians have less than $1000 in disposable income, while the cost of living is increasing. Canadians hold on average $21,000 in non-mortgage debt, while credit card debt is rapdily increasing, as much as +16% from mid 2021. This is a national emergency.
@@SofaMuncher but Trudeau said that was good? Like literally said credit card debt was good ???
It honestly concerns me that the current gov and BOC keep looking for ways to kick the can down the road.
it would probably never pop. I was reading so many predictions of a real estate bubble bursting back in 2008. it actually popped in the US, and not really in Canada.
The thing is that inflation slowly decreases prices. Let's say we have 20% inflation over 3 years (inflation is high now and doesn't subside much), and we also have a 10% decrease in real estate nominal prices. This means a total 30% decrease in the real value of properties
@@mijas-rus2715 The bubble will pop when the supply of immigrants comes down. With average house prices being over 500k, very few immigrant families would be able to come in an afford that kind of a house. At some point, the bubble will burst. We already see a massive fall in housing prices in 2022. Housing prices also fell in 2018 too.
Canada used to be a great country. I have a very hard time saying that it is today. The government focuses on the wrong issues and taxes it's people to death. There was a time when $100k used to get you somewhere. Nowadays, it gets you a modest house mortgage, and one vehicle with just enough left over to put some food on the table.
