Chances are those 1,700 were some of our best and the 30,000 incoming are mostly junior / helpdesk / support people.
30 of them work for my company. They are all very senior, making good money, and paying Canadian taxes. Paying a lot of taxes that pay for social programs that all Candians enjoy.
I hope they can use part of those tax revenues to fix our healthcare.
Canada is no longer a shining first world example of success (if it ever was). We used to boast about how great our healthcare system was, but it's had serious problems for years and those problems just keep getting worse. If I were a tech immigrant looking to move to a rich country I don't think I would choose Canada at the moment.
You don't think they do? In Canada 28.8 percent of tax revenue is spent on healthcare.
Canada has the third best quality of life in the world.
Canada ranks sixth in freedom.
Canada ranks number 2 in religious freedom.
Canada ranks 12th in personal safety.
Why do you hate Canada so much that you're out here spreading this anti-Canadian propaganda?
Canada ranks 29th out of 200 countries in healthcare.
You would fucking stupid not to. It's a safe, welcoming, free country.
I love my country. I'm sorry you don't.
Fear drives people to vote in conservative-themed governments. If there's not enough fear, you need to make it.
Yes. I just can't understand how someone can live in one of the top two or three best countries in the world to live in and accept when someone tells them that it's a third world dictatorial shithole. They don't believe what is in front of their faces because some neo-fascist told them them not to. I wish these idiots would wake the fuck up and start thinking for themselves.
Which country would you immigrate to, other than the Nordic countries and Japan?
