Leave. There are many, many better places to be.
I am in Indonesia now. It’s partially closed but no one gives a shit. Restaurants and clubs are open. Life is pretty normal.
I have two daughters in Brazil. I’m going to visit them in two weeks. Love it there also. They are just coming out of lockdown but I’d rather be in lockdown there than in Canada. I’ll stay for 2-3 months.
The drag is I am supposed to take my girls to Canada for them to study. I am not looking forward to that. And I have another girl in Canada that is moving to the US for grad school (superb decision on her part). I need to take her to the US and am looking forward to that.
Bottom line - many cool places to be. Just take the first step.
Typical. You’ve probably never been and get your info from CNN and CBC. Why don’t you spend some time there and see for yourself. I’ve spent a lot of time there and for people with qualifications and ambition the quality of life is significantly better than in large Canadian cities. Infrastructure, entertain, culture, housing, medical care, food, weather, etc. Sure there is crime, but it is manageable and concentrated in certain areas.
São Paulo is a great place. If it’s the biggest shithole you’ve ever lived in you haven’t lived in a lot of places. There are very nice areas, jardims, Vila Olimpia, Moema, Brooklin to name a few. As I mentioned, infrastructure, food, culture, weather, etc beats any Canadian city. That is of course assuming one has a decent job and makes some decent money. The houses and apartments are much better as well. I don’t know when you lived there or for how long - were you in a favela? As for healthcare, the private healthcare in SP is hands down better than anything offered in Canada: quick, modern, thorough. Sure you have to pay for it, but that is why insurance is available, like most places in the world.
Anyway, you can enjoy Brampton. I prefer Bali.
And in terms of economic dynamism and opportunities both Brazil and Indonesia offer ambitious, smart go-getters many more opportunities than Canada.
