    Yeah it really is a depressing reality here. I think every day about jumping ship and finding somewhere else in the world to live. Unfortunately the whole planet is really in a bad place.

    Could be worse, lol. Russia is sending all their young people on a one way ticket to snoozetown in Ukraine while releasing hardened criminals into the streets without jobs. China is gonna have like....a 30 year age gap and no women because of the one child policy. And their housing market, built on staggering levels of debt, is now reaching the breaking point, as they hit market saturation and can't sell new buildings to offload old debt. Iran is killing and brutalizing their young people who are starting to get really pissied off about religious BS and the terrible economy.

    I'd stay where you are. As we shift to a multipolar world from a unipolar one, things are gonna get dicy, wars and climate change-wise. Canada ain't perfect, but it's pretty good overall.

    I was looking at moving to Thailand to become an English Teacher a few years ago. Then I found a much better job and met my wife, so I'm still here.

    I already moved internationally to be here, which is something my family does.

    I just watched every one of your videos. It's an absolute crime that you have so few views.

    I wonder whether comments that exactly match what the anti-canada bots are saying, are intentional or just plain stupid accidents.

    Second-best country in the world to live, but sulk off to somewhere else if ya like.
