That’s what happens when you massively drive up cost of living with low skilled immigration designed to prop up GDP and property prices while stagnanting wages.

Is it just me or is that not extremely obvious? From like a fundamental economics 101 standpoint.
Unless there’s some major skills mismatch across countries of course the smartest people are going to be the hardest to retain.

I wont assume how valuable I am to the Canadian economy but I think I’ve successfully integrated to my local community and Canada in general. High tax bracket. High Income tech sector. Never took a dime in government support. Homeowner.
But a recent run in with the Canadian healthcare system got me thinking that maybe it’s time to move to the US or elsewhere, where someone in my position won’t have a problem accessing healthcare especially with how much in taxes I’m paying for it here. I also make more money now than when I got here (or anytime in my life for that matter) but I feel poorer now compared to back when I was in a developing country. I feel like the proverbial juice isn’t worth the squeeze anymore.
