The first step is to actually quantify the number of people emigrating from Canada before addressing the rest of of your ramble.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/can...high-1.7218479

The headline makes it sound like there is a great exodus but it using a one year spike in 2022 to really push the narrative and the largest chunk was Americans returning to the US after Covid.

Of the 126,340 who emigrated from Canada to the U.S. that year, 53,311 were born in Canada, 42,595 were Americans who left here for their native land, and 30,434 were foreign-born immigrants to Canada who decided to move to the U.S. instead.

The other numbers are a bit stale but it shows about 15% of immigrants left Canada over 20 years. Once again not really the death spiral the rest of your rant implies. Canada has issues but the histrionics in your post are over the top.
