I think there is validity in both sides.

Canada is still a great place to live, but over the past few years I feel from a Macro perspective it has become more divisive.

There are problems, and frankly many of the benefits that we've enjoyed are slowly being eroded and that seems as though its set to continue.

The quality of Health Care is slipping, the quality of Education is slipping, cost of Housing is rising, wages arent keeping pace, cost of food and utilities are rising.

Places like Vancouver are already pricing people out and you practically have to come from Generational Wealth to live in places like Vancouver or Toronto.

Unless you're lucky with timing or extremely fortunate to work a high paying job people in their 30s or 40s right now may not be able to retire in Canada, if at all. Thats a problem.

The fact that things are still pretty good here, now, is, in my opinion very true, however I think people who see the writing on the wall in terms of the steps this Country is taking in the wrong direction have some validity to them as well.

It depends where you're at in Life.
