@우리엄마-k5k ... It ISN'T that expensive everywhere in Canada, and it ISN'T that much cheaper to live WELL in the States, GB or anywhere else in the west.
I am Canadian, 70 years old, married to a 68 year old. We both worked full time, bought a house (just an ordinary two-floor in 1980 ... and yes, I know that things have changed) had two kids and retired on a Government Pension.
We were never rich and we were frugal, but we're doing okay.
The TRULY important point of my reply is this : Canadians (generally) are doing as well as people in ANY Western Nation - Including the US, and while I'll admit my Generation - if they worked hard and saved - did pretty well, but the problem has less to do with what country you live in, than what generation you were BORN in ... Your generation got the shitty end of the stick.
Some in MY generation are trying to help their kids, but it isn't easy. IF you must or intend to live in a City like Vancouver or Toronto, don't be TO surprised if you're paying through the nose for everything ... Sorry, but that's just a reality ! ...

@kirkp-ko8hk I realize that Muhammad was the Prophet and not the Author, but you do not understand my basic problem with - not only Islam - but Judaism & Christianity as well: I am a nonbeliever - not only of the Abrahamic faiths, but of all Supernatural phenomenon.
I do not believe in souls (although I do agree that we all have individual traits of personality that make each of us unique - one can see this simply by using eye-contact - that reveals what we are ... of course, interpreting that is not always easy) and I don't believe in your Night flight to Heaven on a Winged horse, nor the resurrection of the Christ. Nor was I impressed by Moses' burning bush.
ALL of these things are apocryphal, and intended to make a specific point, much like George Washington's Cherry Tree story. I don't take any of them as literal. I believe in the Sciences (much of which started in the Middle East) ... Astronomy & Mathematics, for example - things that can be proven by repeated observation and experiment. I DON'T put faith in the Supernatural at all.
Once again, my friend, you seem to be a good person, so I have no argument with you - only your beliefs - and because I am a peaceful sort, I HONESTLY wish you only the very best. Let us part as friends, and agree to disagree ... ☪🕊☮

@seanjohnbull1670 ... I KNOW which God you are talking about: your speech patterns are typically Western in style, and I suspect that they are those of an American, in particular. My first question was meant to be rhetorical - Ironic, in fact - because the chances of your faith being Christianity gave better than even odds !
" What other religious group prioritizes belief as the bedrock of faith? " - you say ?
Well, Islam and Judaism both do that, and all of the others at least ASSUME such a position, or else - who are they speaking to, if not there own faithful adherents ?
I don't NEED to continue this discussion, incidentally, - I made a comment and others responded to it, yourself included. This thread is already too long, and we will NEVER see eye-to-eye on the subject.

ANOTHER Canadian here, one who DID vote for Trudeau. As World Leaders go, he is no worse than any other, and you DON'T have to apologize for him. Doubtless, you are one of those folks who supported the so-called Freedom Convoy, where the plan was NOT to do away with Covid Restrictions - which were necessary at the time, but just to embarrass the Canadian Government for taking action. And it's interesting that you are triggered by THIS video - dealing with the Chinese Government - the same one that has employed the most draconian of methods to achieve the impossible - ZERO COVID. You likely think that Canadian Policies were too restrictive, but when compared to those used by China, they were practically nil. I know that " Responsibility " is a dirty word these days, but Rights do NOT come for free ... you are entitle to Air, Food, Housing and Protection from Abuse by either individuals OR zealous Government - true, but you ALSO vote in Governments that are willing to take Necessary actions - NOT just popular actions. GROW UP, For Christ Sake !
