In reply to Ken M. The articles unfortunately do not say which Canadians are leaving since statistics is not allowed to show what races and what groups are leaving and how long they stayed and what percentage are born Canadians. I have Caucasian acquantances whose Canadian born children, for example, have left Canada as they see opportunity elsewhere and also do not want to be victims of "white people are bad" agenda of the last couple of years. I am looking to leave Canada, if possible, when I retire and i have done portion of my post graduate studies in GTA. I am fed up with immigration trends, wokism, immigrant populations showcasing non Western lifestyle sentiment via their religious "rights" and so on. Add to this cost of living increases in the last 5 years and time to evaluate the situation. People need to understand that many new immigrants need a lot of help as they bring their elderly parents, children, two or three viwes if they are muslim and out of this group only one or two people will be working. So, system is getting overburdened and this aspect started to show due to covid pandemic.

In reply to Eric Hughes. That is exactly it. The dictator Trudeau has made Canadian's life miserable and turned our beautiful country to shit. I hope we, Canadian, will get rid of the dictator as soon as possible.

In reply to Tom. Excellent reply. Do what is best for you. I have moved here from abroad a long time ago and will stay as I am nearing retirement and the home is paid for. But, for my kids, I tell them same thing; Go where you can make the best living.

In reply to Imperil Donnington.

The City of Austin is cheaper than Toronto, the median household income is higher, and tech jobs pay 40% more according to CBRE.

Find me a a 4-bedroom detached house for US$300k in any Toronto suburb, because here’s one in Austin.

My family is leaving next year. The housing crisis can’t be fixed at this point, and even if it could be, it would be political poison to do so. Even the government admits that the “Canadian Dream” is closed. Young people are constantly being told to taper their definitions of a “good life”. I’m simply not willing to do so.

Its likely true that most Canadian Millennials will never own a home. I can’t change the “Millennial” part, but “Canadian” is flexible. I’d love to stay, but for my financial and mental well-being, we simply have to go.

In reply to Scott. It's tough to say but I know many talented people that immigrate to Canada because it is easier to get in and then they can job hunt in the US.

People fleeing the country after travel mandates have lifted comes as no surprise. Nobody wants to live in a communist dictatorship.

Canada is a good country to live in if one has the income to do so. But with the rising costs of the basics, of having a roof over one’s head, the cost of food and fuel and a whole slew of taxes it is very difficult to live comfortably on a modest wage. On the other hand if one moves south of the border, a modest wage can mean a very comfortable level of living depending upon the state. Canada also has very strict laws that limit choices found in other countries.
