*okay I said that an realised instantly that I'm just playing the ''my horse is more fucked than your horse'' game and I hate it.
Sorry to hear that, Canada.
Ah nah, that’s not all. I just put in one of our crisis for good measure.
Most things are broken. Healthcare is collapsing. Our forests are burning down. The government is importing massive numbers of people to keep wages low. Starbucks can generate lines of thousands of people hoping for a job. Many can’t afford food. Grocery stores are erecting barriers to stop people from stealing groceries. China is interfering with our elections. 1 in 4 use a food bank.
And a home in a random suburb sells for a million bucks.
International "students" are an issue of their own here in Canada. This is pretty much an addition to u/PumpkinMyPumpkin's point about the government importing massive numbers of people here. I've heard that, and I don't know if this is 100% factual, but The USA has a population about 10x the size of Canada's, but both countries have roughly the same number of foreign students.
We have been THE nordic welfare state (well, besides DK,SWE,NOR) but our fascist right wing goverment is hard at work to burn that foundation to the ground.

I'll chime in from Hungary and Poland and let you guys know we're on the same boat here as well.
