Finally, someone with the courage and honesty to speak the TRUTH. Folks, please listen carefully to what Wendypoh said. She knows what she is talking about. All that she said is completely true and accurate. The only thing I would add to her post above is that the wireless plans in Canada do...

No lah. How can recommend anyone to go Brampton? I would not wish it on my worst enemies. Folks, don't take the Brampton recommendation seriously. It was meant by nayr69sg as a joke. Avoid Brampton at all cost, even if you have to lose an arm and a leg. That place is a nightmare, the hell...

Side show wayang to distract the population from the real issues (population increase, massive PRC influx) lah. Don't fall victim to the wayang show.

What status quo are you going on about? You are a deluded paranoid fool. That is what you are. Again, I dislike the PAP and never liked them (okay, maybe I did back in the 80s and early 90s). I can't wait to help vote PAP out of office in GE 2016. So don't go point fingers at me and saying I...

Hi, A couple of points: 1. I have been to the US Midwest as well the US South, but only stayed in the South for several weeks (Florida/Miami and Georgia/Atlanta). The US Midwest "passiveness" or "Midwest Nice" is DIFFERENT from the passive aggressiveness in Canada. In the Midwest, people are...

You really are DAFT and IDIOTIC aren't you? You sound like you are IDIOT who is stuck in Singapore who is desperately waiting for his Canadian visa (likely under the Federal Skilled Immigrant class) to come through, but who is ultra-touchy to any and all posts revealing bad aspects about Canada...

Serious Bro. The ultra sky high prices and taxes in Canada is no joke. And if you add to that the passive aggressiveness and unfriendliness of the locals, you got a very bad, fatal, killer combo, like in Mortal Kombat. Actually, Canada is the PERFECT place on earth, it is just that the...

Don't exaggerate lah. I live in Bedok North and the wet market here can sell you small strips of chicken breast for less than S$2 per strip if you ask nicely. Go Canada for a week and see if you can survive the ultra sky high prices in Toronto/Vancouver. Then you will know what cry father cry...

But how do you explain the fact that prices of the exact, identical, same items are about 60%-70% cheaper in Singapore as compared to Canada? Singapore has a population of 5 million compared to Canada, which has a population of almost 40 million. Ever try going to places like Longo's or...

Nayr69sg, Good to know that your experience turned out well for you and your family. Are you now qualified as a medical doctor in Alberta? The accreditation processes for doctors and lawyers who are foreigners in Canada are infamous for being ridiculously tough and almost undoable. So if...

You are a paranoid idiot. I am no fan of the PAP regime. I hate the PAP with a vengeance and I dislike their methods. Neither am I trying to discourage Sinkies from leaving Singapore. I am merely trying to let people know that Canada is not as good as it seems. The U.S. is a far better...

Downtown Toronto core, for about 12 years. Where are you in ON? I heard that in smaller northern towns, the white locals are less unfriendly, but not much improvement over those in Toronto. My biggest problem with Canada/Ontario/Toronto is actually not the extremely high cost of living and...

True. There are good and bad aspects, but it is mostly bad. I used to live in Toronto too. It used to be a decent place to live, but it has all changed now in the past decade and a half perhaps due to the massive influx of Indians and Pakistanis and Africans and also PRCs. More...

I would add a modern, up-to-date slant to this. NEVER give any money to the homeless in Toronto. They will use the money to buy meth for iv-injection. Almost all of the homeless in Toronto are meth addicts on iv. People who naively give them money out of sympathy are actually enabling their...

Don't be so sure. Try visiting the major cities in Canada, and experience the sky high prices for yourself. It always amazes me how Sinkies back home complain about the rising cost of living there. Yes, the prices in Singapore are rising for daily items. But they are still well-within...

It depends on which region you are referring to. I assume you are referring to Alberta, which I believe does not have the passive aggressiveness problem much. On the other hand, if you have the misfortune of living in Upper Canada (i.e., Ontario), you would know what I mean by passive...

I have travelled widely, and know about the two places. Just trust me on this.

I think AU is a worse place to migrate to compared to Canada. But Canada is far from ideal. AU is racist and the racism there is outright overt racism. Whereas in Canada, the racism is passive. I think it is a matter of which type of racism you can put up with. U.S. is a far better option...

Don't go Canada. The Canadians are very passive aggressive towards non-white immigrants. They are very racist, but the problem is that they don't dare to say it to your face, so they just become passive aggressive towards you and constantly give you the passive aggressive, silent treatment...
