You can basically buy a passport there for 100g. That's not bad, that's what a truck costs.

I’ve had the privilege to work with and employ St. Lucian’s for the last couple decades. Great people- crafty, determined, hard working and authentic. Most of them wanted to be here and took great strides to stay now they want to go home but they tell me home is quickly becoming unaffordable as this same program has China taking over its country….

I wouldn't mind doing my part to make it a bit more unaffordable lol


Its a global economy now. You have competition from all over the world where ever you go.

Your having a hard time understanding this is not a democracy and whether it’s liberals/ conservatives, NDP, Polievre or Trudeau they are just sock puppets run by the socialist regime of the British monarchy that dictates our country….

Look what happened to J.Kenny, he stood up for less than 24hrs got his peepee spanked/ threatened and conformed. Now disappeared forever. Those hierarchy threats to you and your family will either kill u or make u disappear for the better health of your existence
I don't see D Smith caving she has impressed me with her drive and dedication as a true Alberta leader.

Maybe you could flee to this latest incarnation of Argentina??? What could be better than no govt. services at all, maybe complete chaos? Take all the hard earned money you've earned in Canada over your career and invest it in a true economy with no protections and few laws. I don't know if you're blue collar or not, but as a litmus test a welder in Argentina earns less than the equivalent of $5,000 US/yr. or $2.21/hr., how many welders in the oil patch would be willing to do that job for those wages? Probably not a lot left over to buy a $10,000 sled.

Just to be clear, the majority of the world's population is dirt poor and can only dream of having the standard of living you're so anxious to flee from in Canada. Political and economic stability comes at a cost, maybe be grateful for the advantage you were born with.
If the things we need like houses didn't cost $750k for a starter home we wouldn't need to make $150k just to barely qualify for a mortgage.
Wages are relative to the cost of goods.
Argentina is a place to watch, the new president is taking a very different approach to running a country. I like what I see.

Maybe take a quick look at the history of Argentina before you bet on that horse, economic and social upheaval has occurred in almost every decade over the last century. My bet, it probably happens again.

This also happens in Canada, look what the liberal government has done in their time in power.

Have you ever been to Argentina? I have been several times. You make it sound like it’s India, it is not. Infact it’s one of the wealthiest nations in South America. Apples to apples. The restaurants are filled with locals , nightlife- and dancing are part of the culture on a nightly basis, they have a huge tourism industry from beaches to mountains, ski resorts, cruise ships and wine tours and they have free healthcare for everyone and a good education system. The things we have here are very similar there. Yeah there is poverty- but there is also poverty here.

Did you know:
-They are known for the best beef in the world!
- The best steak on the menu is less than $10 while in Canada you would pay upwards of $100
-The wine is world renowned
-4 out 5 women are comparable to supermodels

Sounds pretty good to me-people are not fleeing the country…..,oh yeah….hubba,hubba

I feel as though you probably don't have a beard and backwards hat......with out that your expertise is null and void
