@CitImmCanada To anyone considering moving to Canada: DON’T until you know what you are getting into. Depending on where you are from, it may be a gigantic step down in quality of life.
I am German and returning to EU after 16 years abroad. 11 years in Canada, which I sorely regret. There is a

@CitImmCanada joke among expats that CA has a great intl PR team.
Healthcare here is atrocious. After 11 years still NO FAMILY DOCTOR. Walk in clinics suck. Chronic gastro disease and NO chance to see a new specialist (old one sucked).
Broke my foot, had to pay $300 for a walking boot. Anemic

@CitImmCanada & need iron IV? $1000 per course. No chance to get it paid bc wait times >>> 1 year.
UNAFFORDABLE SHIT QUALITY RENTALS. Paying $3100 for just over 70 square meters in Vancouver for what would be mediocre quality in Europe.
No change at owning home & garden.
A cultural wasteland

@CitImmCanada compared to Europe. Complacent, apathetic, materialistic people for the most part.
Polite & say “sorry” a lot is the cliché? Yes but it’s “SORRY CAN’T HELP YOU”. Over & over.
Do real research before you do this to yourself. Canada is scam. A resource extraction corporation, not a

@CitImmCanada country.
Oh let me tell you about last summer where I was ASSAULTED by a mentally ill homeless woman at my own doorstep (nice neighborhood YVR) & ended up in ER. Nobody cares! People are left to fend for themselves on the streets. Get a depot meds shot 1x weekly to keep them “in

@CitImmCanada check”. Police told me she wasn’t an issue compared to others. Ended up in ER. Concussion, sprained wrist/fingers, torn our hair, bruises. Could have cracked my skull. No mental health care for anyone! Half dead addicts everywhere. No help from govt. They’re all complacent losers

@CitImmCanada Only great things - multicultural society & nature.
But many white Canadians are racist hillbillies & nature is being ruined & exploited for profit every step of the way (that’s what “Canada” was established for after all & hasn’t changed).
They pander to the rich & corporations

@CitImmCanada Don’t get me started how First Nations are being treated. It’s criminal and disgusting colonizer shit even in 2023.
Hell no, don’t make the same mistake I made. Don’t move here unless all of this is a great step up.
But hey we have assisted dying as an OUT for poverty! Because

@CitImmCanada offering death is cheaper than providing support for chronically ill & disabled. You do NOT want to get old here. Government is NOT there for you. They want you GONE. They don’t provide dignity in life & needed services but offer death within 30 days as an easy OUT. F*CK CANADA

@CitImmCanada Do yourself a favor & look up #IamthefaceofMAID to see examples of people resorting to assisted dying for lack of appropriate health care & support services.
Canada wants to use you while you’re healthy & kill you off when you become a “burden”.
Truly Canada in a nutshell.

@CitImmCanada I’m disgusted by how many right wingers, anti vaxxers etc are liking this post. To clarify I am a democratic socialist & 5x vaxxed 😉
That’s Canada! Be against the current center-right @JustinTrudeau govt that bends over for corps & fucks people, you attract the far right 🤮🤮🤮
