Quote from: DKG on July 11, 2025, 10:41:57 AMFrankly, I am not surprised that city state is beating Canada in all quality of life metrics. Singapore is a wealthier, better governed, and more innovative society than Canada.

The main ones why we emigrated are these:
Canadians make 56.2% less money

Singapore has a GDP per capita of $127,500 as of 2023, while in Canada, the GDP per capita is $55,800 as of 2023.

Canadians are 100.0% more likely to be unemployed

In Singapore, 3.5% of adults are unemployed as of 2023. In Canada, that number is 7% as of June 2025.

Canadians pay a 65.0% higher top tax rate

The gap between Singapore and Canada will only get wider. We are making  real efforts to make Singaporeans even richer. Canada's government is doing the exact opposite to their own citizens.

Also, health care is 100 times better than in Canada. We deliver better results cheaper too. And the civil service is waaaaaay more efficient here.

Quote from: Renegade Quark on Today at 01:14:12 AMWhat rising sea levels? They said NYC would be flooded by rising sea levels by 2015 at one point.

Man-made global Warming is a myth. Besides, Warming and elevated CO2 are good for the planet and us. It's global cooling that is headed our way at some point and that's something to worry about.

If the alarmists are right, we'll just burn use more coal, oil and natural gas to get the temps back down from sub zero freezing.

Canadians under forty five know their country aint got their backs anymore. And they aint got Canada's back either.

Old Herman has been to Singapore I don't even remember how many times. The city is a transit hub for the region. It's also a regional logistical centre for the offshore oil and gas industry.

It has been ahead of Canada in infrastructure for a long time. But back in the day, working folks had better lives in Canada if you were willing to work hard.

That sure as hell aint the case anymore. Old Shen Li is right, Canada is a third world shithole now compared to Singapore.

Quote from: Shen Li on July 10, 2025, 11:20:24 PMWhat the fuck is that nincompoop pm doing spending 5% of GDP on defense when NATO only calls for 2%. If Canada is smart(it isn't) it would withdraw from NATO and use that money to eliminate the deficit and lower taxes.

Singapore spends a lot on defense. We will spend 3.5% of our GDP on defense this year.

Who the hell knows what Conman Carney is doing. Whatever it is it will not help Canadians.

Canada used to strive to improve living standards. Now we intentionally lower them.

Quote from: Shen Li on July 10, 2025, 11:33:10 PMTo pay for Mark Carnage's foolish commitment to NATO will require one of three hard choices: larger deficits, higher taxes, or significant spending cuts. It will prolly involve all three.

Life was already hard enough in that frozen wasteland. I'm sooooooo fucking glad I got off that ship before it sank.

Frankly, I am not surprised that city state is beating Canada in all quality of life metrics. Singapore is a wealthier, better governed, and more innovative society than Canada.

Quote from: Thiel on July 11, 2025, 12:29:48 AMSugarplum, Mr Rubio said that NATO members voluntarily agreed to hike spending to five percent of GDP. You said Canada's neighbor demanded that Canada increase defense spending to five percent and as your own video proved, you lied.

Honey buns do you remember what I told you after we had sex last night about telling lies. You can say goodbye to your allowance for two weeks.

Our economy is essentially in recession, spending is out of control, and Carney announces spending commitments that we cannot afford.

If he was a real leader he would end his three month vacation and get back to the negotiating table with Trump to reach a deal before tariffs are implemented. And as part of the negotiations, he would rescind his foolhardy five percent of GDP military pledge.

But, that is what a leader who cares about his nation would do and of course Carney was not appointed PM to help Canadians.

JOEJ josephine, message from Thiel!

Quote from: JOE on July 11, 2025, 12:18:19 AMI advised some young guy once not to renounce his Irish passport. He was going to but i said to him "why would you? You get access to the EU."

And today Ireland is one of the most coveted passports in the world.

It might also happen with Canada too Shen Li Shen.

Canadians might acquire similar access to the EU even if they don't fully join it. So besides yourself if you have children having a Canadian passport might be a bonus for them one day.

Sweetie, remember what I told you two days ago after we had sex about reading posts and responding to what they actually wrote.

Ms Li has said that Singapore does not permit dual citizenship. And she wants Singaporean citizenship more than Canadian citizenship.

Quote from: JOE on July 11, 2025, 12:13:50 AMSeems like you really hated living in Canada Shen Li Shen

It's your life, but I would still be inclined to hang on to the Canadian citizenship & pick up Singaporean as well. Canada is one of the few nations that allows dual or multiple citizenship. That'd seem like a gift actually.

Once you renounce the Canadian it's like throwing something away.

I've heard that certain passports don't carry as much weight or are not as highly regarded when entering others.

I heard the US government especially under Trump wants to eliminate dual citizenship. But Canada is unlikely to do that ever.

Sweetie, Ms Li has said that she left Canada for her sons future. I never heard her say she hated living in Canada. That is the second fib you told in one thread. Do you want to lose your allowance for another two weeks.

Pussycat, remember what I told you this morning after you performed oral sex on me about falling for falling for fake viral claims.

He wants 5%.
