It is no exaggeration to say that 20 years ago in Canada, everyone had light in their eyes, and people got along very well and naturally; In today's Canada, strangers look at each other with mutual suspicion, for fear that the other party is a bad person and has bad intentions.
No one would have thought that Canada, which is the paradise in the eyes of Chinese people and the first choice for rich immigrants, will one day become the worst developed country in the world.
The first batch of old middle-class people in China to immigrate to Canada either returned to China to settle down or went to the United States to work. Those who have not left joked that Canada is now "North American Ningguta".
In 10 years, wages have not risen at all, prices have doubled, the pressure of life has suddenly increased, and Canada is no longer the lying paradise we are familiar with.
From paradise to the worst developed country, is there any hope for Canada to turn around?
Canada's main problem is economic stagnation.
Data released by Statistics Canada shows that in the fourth quarter of last year, Canada's per capita GDP has regressed to the level of 2017. The problem of economic hollowing out is getting worse.
The culprit behind these problems is Canada's big brother: the United States.
In order to divert domestic inflation, the United States has begun to suck Canada's blood.
According to local Chinese, taking advantage of the depreciation of the Canadian dollar, shrinking exports, and operational difficulties, American capital has aggressively acquired Canadian resource companies, monopolizing upstream raw materials.
At the same time, Canadian high-tech companies, struggling to find a market and financing in China, have moved their headquarters to the United States under the lure of American capital.
Most of the jobs left in Canada are supermarket cashiers, domestic nannies, restaurant waiters, beauticians and other jobs that serve the wealthy.
Young people in Canada look down on the job of serving people, and as soon as they graduate from college, they run to the United States, and no one wants to stay. And the work of these waiters is basically contracted by the Chinese who have immigrated in the past ten years.
Not only has the U.S. robbed Canada of resources, jobs, and young people, but it has also left behind severe inflation.
As the U.S. dollar continues to raise interest rates, Canada's wealthy sell the Canadian dollar to exchange it for dollars, and transfer all their assets to the United States for interest. There is a surplus of Canadian dollars circulating in the market, causing prices to skyrocket.
Here are a few examples, you can feel it:
Vancouver's home prices have risen by 40 per cent; Gasoline prices have risen by 50%; Prices in supermarkets have generally risen by 20%-30%; Household utilities have risen by 25 percent.
A Shanghai middle-class immigrant for 15 years complained: Don't say anything else, just look at the money for food. It turned out that he ate alone for 200 Canadian dollars a month, and last month he spent 400. But the wages have not been touched.
Some elderly Chinese, whose pension is not enough, have come out to look for a job in their 70s, and they are afraid to tell their children in the United States for fear that they will be worried.
Of course, the Americans are not completely devoid of benefits for Canada. For example, the experience of "zero-dollar purchase" has been successfully replicated in Canada.
In recent years, the law and order situation in Canada has declined dramatically. Turn on the TV, and there is news of "zero yuan purchase", burglary, and car theft every day. The main force is poor immigrants from Africa and India, who have no skills, no savings, and no jobs, so they steal and rob.
There is a saying in the Chinese community that you must not drive a good car of more than 400,000 yuan when you go out, otherwise you will be stolen. There was a small boss who had just immigrated to the past who didn't believe it, and drove a Lexus out to eat, and at the time of a meal, the car was gone. Because there are so many car thieves, car insurance in Canada has doubled.
It is no exaggeration to say that 20 years ago in Canada, everyone had light in their eyes, and people got along very well and naturally; In today's Canada, strangers look at each other with mutual suspicion, for fear that the other party is a bad person and has bad intentions.
In the face of the crisis, the Canadian government did not dare to offend the United States, but dared to take advantage of its own people and raise taxes wildly to maintain high welfare spending.
It is said that the inheritance tax will be increased to 60%. Because 70% of Canadians have less than 500 yuan in savings, those who have an inheritance must be rich.
Especially the wealthy Chinese who immigrated to Canada with huge fortunes. To put it mildly, this tax is aimed at them. Since you have chosen Canada, let's donate 60% of your family property first! China earns money and spends national flowers, and they want to take it home.
In addition, the Canadian government is also pushing for an additional "carbon tax". The reason is very valid: in order to prevent global warming, Canada advocates green environmental protection, and imposes punitive taxes on those who drive fuel vehicles, so as to spur them to replace green and environmentally friendly new energy vehicles as soon as possible.
What's even more outrageous is that Toronto is even concocting a "rain tax"! When it rains in Toronto, everyone pays taxes based on the size of their homes!
The reason is that Toronto's sewage cannot be discharged, and the people are very dissatisfied, but the government has no money to repair the drainage system, so it has made this decision to levy the first "rain tax" in human history to make some money to repair sewers.
Realistically speaking, the Canadians cannot be blamed entirely on Canada's mix of the "worst developed countries", because the root cause of Canada's decline is not in its own country, but in the United States.
Originally, when Sino-US relations were okay, we would buy a part of U.S. bonds to stabilize the value of the U.S. dollar and help the U.S. absorb inflation. Now, we don't cooperate, we don't eat US debt, and US inflation is at risk of a hard landing in our country, so we have to sacrifice our little brother - Canada, the United Kingdom, and Japan. The recent collective decline in their economy, the depreciation of their currency, the rise in prices, and the shrinking of GDP are the result of shifting inflation in the United States.
When the eldest brother mixes well, he can give some meat to the younger brother; Now the eldest brother can't do it, and he doesn't even want to give the soup. This is the fate of the younger brother, who is never in his own hands, and will be sold by the eldest brother at any time.
