The National identity that we have is the Irish and Scots who were kicked out of the Bogs and Highlands by inbred elites who wanted to utilize the timber resources of Canada to build up the Royal Navy, Now we are too poor and have no other options except to ride out the storm
I believe in the country
we used to be.
What we are now is purposeful, they wanted to erase our history and call it racist and say we had no national identity and that we were a nation of lgbtqtspirit+ brown immigrants from Pakistan.
This is why when they try to call on Canadian nationalism for the military or staying here instead of the US, noone cares anymore. Theres only so many gay pride flags you can take.
I apologize I don't have the numbers handy but Canada's population has grown by about 3 million in the past 4 years.
This is off, but the spirit isn't- yeah its between 400k to 500k yearly since 2021.

I'm willing to be thoroughly embarrassed if I'm wrong but I bet the US doesn't have anything close to this in terms of immigration-fueled population growth over the same period.
The US is about a million plus legal migrants to 2 million yearly.
The difference is the US has a population literally 10x the amount that Canada does, and arguably enough infrastructure for this (in part anyways).
The math doesn't add up for Canada, our rate of immigration is much higher relative to our population of 38 million and the US 334 million.
Things improved greatly compared to what it was before i left . I am telling you what works.
It may or may not work, but yeah- honestly, its the best bet. Its not even "fuck you, got mine", its "theyre fucking with us, dont care, and will continue to fuck with us- count me out" basically.
Sometimes there is no saving the nation. You wouldn't tell someone white to stay in Saffa, would you? Sometimes there is- Spain and Italy got their shit together only after everyone started bailing from the country.
With demographics, thats a separate issue and a harder one to solve, so Im tempted to say that you can't solve it by up and leaving.
But either way, I agree with you here. Tried a lot of stuff, Canada is in a trap currently, and theres better opportunities elsewhere. Stay out while the liberals are in power, honestly. I fought my personal battles during covid, before it, lost friends, burnt ties for speaking out, etc. Sorry, but not dying for these people (I'm not exaggerating, things are that bad with cost of living and people living on the street) or going homeless for them either.
What caused me to leave was a friend who was struggling financially relapsing into heroin, and dying of fentanyl. I blame the stress of his sudden financial burdens and lack of socialization during covid in part. Tough times, social circles suddenly gone, mass societal paranoia, people who should have been there to help with him relapsing- the financial strain the pandemic put him under, him working overnight shifts, etc. The other part is on your addiction itself, but the collapsing economy, especially in his sector, and covid took its own toll on him.
I'm not going to suffer for idiot liberals mistakes. Saw the writing, converted my currency, invested elsewhere to insulate myself financially, left the country for a cheaper Spanish speaking one, picked up, took a job at half the pay, and left.
If you can leave Canada, do it. This isnt for those with families, dependents, etc obviously. This isn't for those who have McJobs (but honestly, maybe it is a call for young men either way). If you do have the opportunity to leave, don't let anyone convince you to stay, not out of nationalism, not out of "youll be just like the Indians", not out of "but what about the boomers retirement fund", not out of "things are getting better, all the brown people are good", or "well well get rid of 40% of them in a few years, so hold out".
Leave.
However, the problem with this tactic is that people will stop caring at some point. You can only kick a dog so many times before it bites back and goes for the throat.
This.
Id also add that the government likely expects most migrants to leave, but the goals probably to
milk a ton of them, and hope that even a quarter of them stay permanently as tax monkeys, and theyre willing to burn social cohesion in the meantime as well because retirement is literally a ponzi scheme here.
Failed state shit.
