Some observations of Canada from my 10 day house-swap with a Canadian family in Toronto:

Native Canadian people are helpful, but Canadian immigrants don't talk to strangers.
Most things are more expensive than in the US, like $6.50 Canadian for a Hagen Daas ice cream bar in Toronto Island park.
The Lindt chocolates are all forgeries, just crap in elite wrappers. Canadians are unaware of the fraud, since they've never had good chocolate.
Via Rail beats Amtrak by a long shot. Via Rail is clean, on-time, and cheap.
Tap water tastes pretty good.
There are two sales taxes instead of just one: provincial and federal.
Beer and wine in Ontario are sold only by the provincial liquor monopoly, at twice the cost as in the US. BYOB/W
Public pools are free, though run-down.
Immigrants in Toronto are the largest percentage of any city in the world.
The subway system in Toronto is efficient and inexpensive.
Milk comes in a bag rather than in a gallon jug.
Prostitution advertising is brazen and cheap.
There are many Muslim women, some completely covered in Burqas.
Women have more tattoos than in the US.
Marijuana can be smelled in the air on many major Toronto streets.
There is a visible gay population in Toronto.
There are a surprising number of Canadian flags on cars and houses.
The Canadian accent becomes more noticeable the more you hear it.

Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry age gap is about 13 years close to his daughter age if he had one. Being depression is the only common trait, hard to think of long term relationship. It’s more of a midlife crisis and distraction.

When I heard that this Russian-Ukrainian family from Moscow was considering making Toronto their new home, I had an idea of what they were coming from having spent several years in Russia myself. I also had an idea what they might expect to find in Canada and what they would actually find there. I hoped for the best for them but had a feeling that there was a good chance they’d be disappointed. The conception of the orderly, affluent, and implicitly white suburbs of North America seems like a dream when compared to the slate-coloured concrete apartment blocks of the former Soviet Union. However, the new reality of overpriced urban centres cramped with vape shops, Indian takeout, and Vietnamese nail salons, populated by a hodgepodge of third world migrants isn’t nearly as appealing.

It was depressing, though not at all surprising to hear that it only took this family two weeks of being in Toronto before deciding that they didn’t want to stay any longer. From what I was told, their impression of the city was that it was dirty, expensive, and most notably of all, majority non-white, something which they considered a deal breaker. Last I heard, they decided to settle in Poland instead, another former Eastern Bloc country, ironically a lot more similar to where they had to left in the first place.

That Canadian freeze on withdrawing from real estate funds will really hurt the retirees living off those funds.

Passengers aboard an Air Canada flight were startled by “chilling screams” coming from beneath the cabin as the aircraft taxied for takeoff.

The screams emerged from a ground crew member who was accidentally trapped in the cargo hold.

The incident occurred on December 13 aboard Air Canada Flight 1502.

The packed passenger jet was preparing to depart Toronto Pearson International Airport for Moncton, New Brunswick, according to CBC.

The aircraft, an Airbus jet carrying 184 passengers, had its cargo doors “inadvertently closed.”

However, a worker was still inside the luggage compartment.

As the plane began rolling toward the runway, loud banging and desperate cries were heard from the rear of the cabin.

The alarming sounds immediately triggered panic among the passengers.

The screaming prompted flight attendants to rush down the aisle. ...

“We could see the crew gathering around the plane, so we knew something was happening,” Caron said.

“Then, the pilot tells us that there is someone from the crew in the luggage hold.”

The aircraft stopped before reaching the runway.

The trapped ground crew member was quickly freed.

He was then brought into the cabin, where he reassured passengers that he was unharmed.

Wasn't the collapse the result of ban on foreign (read CCP) investment into SFHs?

Only certain provinces did that. Mostly, it's because they put the brakes on the rampant immigration levels they had for 15 years.

Carney in China kissing Ass. Xi wasn't even at the airport to meet him, because Canada isn't the world power it thinks it is.

Probably the real reason so many old, rich Canadians stayed home this winter.

The previous head of the Bank of England, drafted to be fake elected and installed as Canadian PM, overtly states the City of London mirror reflection of the CCP will be drafted into the New World Order. He's spooked by Venezuela.

Talk about Satanic. I can never forget the video (which I wished I saved) where Carney was questioned and he literally started speaking in tongues in no recognizable language. Maybe the language was an ancient language of the nether regions, but it was one of the wierdest things I have ever seen a leader do in a vid. He is most definitely one of the spooky possessed.

Worse than that. It was French...

Canadian outdoor temperature influence politician decision.
Is not the first time when Canadian government freezing people accounts.
That typical for communist behavior.
1.Take money from people,
2. Take away asset form rich, make it public asset,
3. Makes everybody poor, under full control, and alcoholic,
4. Maximums enrich those who run country.

Yes, we can see this trend not only in Canada but in European Union and sanctuary US states.

Why Alberta will leave Canada:

North Snow Venezuela installed toilet leader engages in some Satanic Inversion doozies. Kommie Canada is just as involved in the City of London drug trades, criminal entrprises and money laundering as it's southern sister country. Carney is happy to funnel the fentanyl through the borders.
