Prices are outrageously high, rent, homes, food overpriced and wages in the service sector outrageously low. The poor get poorer and the rich get richer.
Welcome to Capitalism, bitch! Enjoy your stay!

Appreciate your opinion.
Look, I didn't mean for this thread to get out of hand, and to become a flame war.
I am going through some family issues. My family just happens to be 110% Liberal and Anti-American, and I returned to Canada to be closer to family. A family from hell !! Liberals
I am not putting Canada down, both the USA and Canada have much to offer and both have problems, that is the reality of life.
I just found that many liberals on this forum, label themselves as "Liberals" but have forgotten what the Liberal party use to stand for. A majority of Liberals on this forum are talking through there ass.
Regardless of my opinion, which most of you have your own interruption on. Canadians have lost focus on what is important about Canada and what made us stand apart from the rest of the world.
Canada use to be rated as the #1 place in the world to live by the United Nations.
20 years ago I never saw poor on the streets of Calgary, Vancouver or Toronto, now there is an overabundance. What happen to Canada's compassion for caring for it's underclass. Not making excuses for why they are that way.
Immigration, yes I enjoyed baiting Abbas. But the fact is I am very pro immigration. Regardless of a persons faith, culture or color I think Canada offers a unique opportunity for all whom come to our shores to find a better life free from oppression.
I have the same views in the United States, where I feel the 12 million "illegal" Mexicans and other nations should be allowed to stay (if they do not have a criminal record) and provides 10 years employment history, proving they have worked the entire time.
I think Capitalism and Greed have gone arise in Canada. Rent and the cost of living have gone out of check, and wages have been kept low making it hard for anyone to make a decent living in many parts of Canada.
I have been advised to say I am leaving the site for a while, and will return at a later date when my life has found focus and I have decided where home really is.
In the mean time, I thank the people who have been kind in their replies and PM's. The others are irrelevant as they are in life.
p.s. maybe I am a Liberal at heart, hope not.
