News flash: smart people with resources don’t want to live in an authoritarian shithole run by a wannabe dictator.
Hell, I don’t want to live here— why the fook would any Canadian who aren’t braindead stupid want to come to this shit hole with its shit hole government???
Exactly my question. Why is anyone still even trying to come here to live?
ive met a few, they are quite literally, in the most literal sense. very, very, very stupid people.
It’s a straight downgrade
People* don’t want to live in the US*.
I know there’s a lot of focus on the US today, even more than usual but I’m getting very concerned about every other countries domestic swing towards conservative populism that’s generally intertwined with racism mixed in the current anti-immigration movements.
This is good. I absolutely think it’s a problem for every country to have foreign ownership of land/property. It ranges from champagne socialist to hyper-capitalist doing foreign land/property purchases. Screw vacation homes. Screw rental properties. Regardless of all that, don’t let anti-Americanism distract you from growing conservative populism that’s been growing across the world for I feel like the whole 25 years of this millennium
I don’t want to live here either.
I’m honestly shocked that’s all it dropped - I’d have expected at least a third.
I imagine the wealthy are over represented in the segment of Canadians looking to buy American homes, and most feel reasonably confident that overrides everything else.
To be fair, are they wrong? Wealthy is the only truly privileged group in America. For a few million, you can outright buy American citizenship now
Wealthy or young professionals who can make a significant amount more money in America vs. Canada, which is generally the same thing.
When we hit peak water, Canada and Greenland both will get invaded.
all of the great lakes are accessible by the US already.
Republicans will find a way to pollute those though.
Then I hope the US knows how to respond to Urban terrorism, because Canadians will go across the border silently, and we will destroy everything we can.
Canada is re-arming, and the United States military is notoriously incompetent.
Canada should be doing much more.
What do you mean incompetent? They’re in the top 3 concerning civilian casualties! Only Russia and Israel are better at murdering defenceless people!
This is due to a few factors:
- US house taxes are very high in any place worth living in.
- This is typical Boomer demographics, they are dying.
- Older Boomers cannot afford to get sick in the US.
- This peaked after 2008 when US housing was cheap.
makes sense to not want to get detained for three weeks
When all of us in the USA are all dying of fire and Canada is nice and cool, this will make even more sense than it does now.
Good. Get the fuck out with your rental property.
Economy is going to contract especially come spring. These snowbirds most of the time were more kind than locals. People have no idea how much money they pump into local economies.
Hopefully this is advantageous to midterms but who knows.
Such a confusing headline. They don’t want to live in America, yet they stay in Canada?
Ahh hello, European. As a Canadian I would like to point out that Canadians have rejected the demonym “American” (when it is applied to us) and have done so far as long as I can remember. We consider it offensive.
If you’re looking to start a fight with a Canadian, calling him an American is an easy way to do that.
Then don’t call me European :o
They didn’t know what country you were from but were fairly confident on continent, and if you had said North American no one would’ve cared.
For most Europeans, America includes north and south.
‘America’ is being used as a hegemonic moniker for The United States of America.
I wonder what effect all this is having on the timeshare industry….
