The problem is the people leaving are the highly talented and valuable people economically speaking. The people that are staying are the low income low skill people who do not substantially increase our GDP per capita and in fact lower it
This is going to be more and more of a problem.

You mean other than the ones you were already giving you sea lion? LOL
Either make a counter argument or admit that I’m right even if you don’t like it. This kind of nonsense just makes you look bad
This was one of the key points in the video. Their source is a TD Economics report, which in turn references a report from The Institute for Canadian Citizensihp:

But… That’s fine? We would expect them to? They came here for education. That’s not skilled immigrants leaving, it’s customers going home with what they paid for
The skilled people are Citizens and PRs going to work in the US because the same jobs in Canada pay half as much with much higher taxes.
That’s over now. Who wants to get a pricy Canadian degree just to go get rounded-up in America and maybe killed in the gulags?
We’re still the most educated country on Earth by a good margin, so it’s hard to see it getting that bad.
But yes, our immigration system is fucked. We select for all the best and brightest people, and then put them to work at Tim Hortons.
Unfortunately being educated is not in and of itself a protection from that kind of thing. As is easily seen by a cursory examination of the statistics. Our talented people are leaving and that is a major problem and worse Now intelligent people are just using Canada as a stepping stone with the intent of leaving shortly after they get here because it’s easier to get into countries like America from Canada than it is from some of the countries they come from.
Either way we’re getting slaughtered
It always surprises me when I see the stats. We really do have a lot of degrees per cappita
You could argue the brain drain has been going on since the late 50s
You could but not successfully 😁 Joking aside though there have been other instances of brain drains taking place in the past. I think to suggest that there’s been a consistent brain drain for that. Of time would be severely erroneous and there are definitely been times when we attracted people to Canada. But this is definitely one of the worst and we are seeing people leave for the record percent of them being exactly the kind of people we want to stay
And it shows up in a lot of stats. Our GDP per capita is horrible and that’s one of the reasons, our investments climate is cored, etc etc. We have to find a way to reverse that and quickly
