This tourist from Ecuador said he expected Canada to be a first world country.

But when he got to Toronto, he was SHOCKED at all the drugs and homelessness.

The average Canadian is 8 TIMES RICHER than the average Ecuadorian.

Yet apparently it's still nicer in Quito.

I have been to both Toronto and Quito. I thought Quito was much nicer.

I hope no one in the Republic of Canadastan expects the place to be nicer than Ecuador as long as marxist Carney is in charge. It will continue to circle the drain instead.

Richer in material goods, poorer in spirit.

As a primarily Catholic Faith nation, Ecuadoreans may be forgiven for being shocked at the multiculturalism and urban decay they encounter in Toronto.

That’s pretty bad.

I can’t fathom being homeless in Canada in the winter......

Canada has a major housing crisis, dwarfs any current shortages in the US. Prices are exorbitant and interest rates on mortgages are reset every five years, meaning, going up for most homeowners.

Canada does not have to be like that.

Ask Bukele.

“Canada has a major housing crisis”

What Canada might do is to close Toronto area airports circa 2030 and build a new airport and city at least 50 miles away.
