    As an American, seconded.

    I’m trapped here, don’t YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.

      I am honestly wondering how long it will be before you are eligible for refugee claims in the world with the state of affairs in your country. You aren’t trapped though! Come to Canada! We have a bunch of issues now, but it will be a breathe of fresh air compared to the issues you face.

          Why isn’t it that simple? People leave their countries for a better life everyday. If the situation is as bad as claimed I can see no reason why regardless of complexity it isn’t the option chosen.

        You aren’t trapped though! Come to Canada!

        And this is how we achieved a population greater than what our housing can support. Unless you’re ready to fork over 1200-2k a month for a 1 bedroom & 1 bathroom then I would advise against this.

          People are already forking over that kind of money in the US, and have been for years.

          You should take a peak on what people in the US have to deal with before you go shitting on Canada.

          That also isn’t how we got into a housing crisis. That was because the Government stopped building houses, and turned real estate into the monster of an investment vehicle it is today.
